Bound to fail (6)
I believe the answer is:
doomed
'bound to fail' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for doomed that I've seen before include "Destined to a grim fate, perhaps hell (6)" , "Condemned to certain death" , "Condemned to hell" , "Ill-fated" , "Consigned or sentenced to hell" .)
