In depth
Verdict
First Destination was receiving 14lb when landing a Market Rasen bumper in August 2017 and makes her hurdling debut. Quick Wave had form over hurdles and fences in France and made a reasonable debut for new connections at Catterick so she can get involved but Timassini, who made a promising debut at Taunton and was well supported at Huntingdon, was on the retreat when falling at the last. Winning bumper Granitic ran a cracking race for a 100/1 chance when third at Sandown and there should be more to come but this can go to dual bumper winner MELEKHOV, who improved massively on his opening run over timber when runner-up to the long odds-on Scaramanga at Taunton with the remainder in another parish.
