MAJOR DESTINATION is the one to beat in this reverting to the larger obstacles. He’s won one of his three chase starts so far and been placed in the other two – there is more to come. Kilkishen was behind the selection over hurdles at Galway last month but is a massive 14lb better off so should get much closer today. Adimelo won over a similar trip at Wexford in July but has been beaten out of sight in both starts since, though still makes more appeal than Justmemyselfandi and General Gold.
