Pulled up on his seasonal debut in the ‘Dan Moore’ at Fairyhouse, Blood Destiny bounced back to land the Grade 3 William Hill Racing Bet Builder Chase in Naas, second leg of a double for Willie Mullins and Paul Townend.

Having tracked the pace, the seven-year-old closed turning for home, headed Touch me Not at the final fence and forged clear to score by almost five lengths, with 2024 Champion Chase winner Captain Guinness back in third.
