Failed to make a meaningful impact on Rules debut, but following a wind op he improved when landing a Wincanton maiden hurdle in a first-time tongue strap last month. Further progress likely.
|
Useful in bumpers, winning 3 of his 4 starts, and is just as good on the Flat, competing in major staying handicaps in 2020. Very much of interest on this hurdles debut.
|
Well held in bumpers for Ronald O'Neill in Ireland and hard to fancy now hurdling for new yard.
|
Showed ability on debut in a Perth bumper last summer but well held both starts since, including on hurdles bow at Musselburgh last time.
|
Pulled up both starts between the flags and readily passed over on Rules debut.
|
Showed a bit when a well-held third on hurdles debut at Musselburgh in December. However, well held back there next time and yard saddles a far stronger candidate in Alright Sunshine.
|
Winless following 14 attempts between the flags and, like stablemate Coolkill, he looks set for a struggle on this Rules debut.
|
Well held on only start in bumpers but showed a bit under a considerate ride on hurdling debut at Ayr in November. Likely to do better in time, perhaps when going down the handicap route.
|
Too keen in a Musselburgh bumper last year, but was set to score comfortably on hurdling bow when falling at the last at Catterick (19f, heavy) on last month's reappearance. Obvious claims.
|
Successful on sole outing in points, but efforts under Rules have so far been uninspiring.
|
Successful in his only Irish point and showed plenty when 11 lengths second of 9 to Henry Gondoff in Wetherby novice (19.7f) on Rules debut. Should improve with that run under his belt.
|
Well held in a pair of bumpers in the autumn. Hood added for hurdle debut.
|
Scorpion mare from a good jumping family. Limited impact in a couple of mares' bumpers in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell last summer and best watched now hurdling for new yard.

Forecasts
Rockstar Ronnie (5/4), Alright Sunshine (2/1), Fabrique En France (4/1), Malpas (13/2), Coolkill (40/1), Goodtimes Badtimes (50/1), Let There Be Love (66/1), Ballytobin (100/1), Your Place (125/1), Bayfriars Bobby (150/1), Rapid Raider (150/1), Just Jerry (150/1), Grey Tikkana (300/1)
MALPAS had the race well and truly sewn up when departing at the final flight at Catterick and, granted a clear round here, he will prove a tough nut to crack. Rockstar Ronnie made a promising start under Rules in a Wetherby novice and is open to improvement, but multiple bumper winner/useful Flat handicapper Alright Sunshine may emerge as the main danger.
