        In depth

        Verdict

        A very open bumper to end proceedings and Men Of Destiny can land the spoils her, with Aspiring Actor and Kilkilian put forward as the main rivals. Brendan Powell's gelding should have a winners penalty here, but ran out on his debut at here when four lengths clear in the final furlong. He ran in snatches on that occasion, possibly due to greenness, and there should be plenty of improvement to come. For good measure Powell also sends out Kilkillian who is a half brother to a fair Irish hurdler and a winning bumper, the market should tell us if this one is fancied on his debut. Paul Nicholls trains Aspiring Actor who ran a race full of promise behind Darkness in December. He should improve for that effort and rates a danger to all. Woodbridge Quest is another to keep an eye on in the betting, but Men Of Destiny has already proven his ability and he gets the vote.
