Impressive I thought. Been burnt with early season novices for this plenty of times before though so I’ll let him win again before getting involved. Certainly looked useful though.
Yeah it's very early doors alright MOM but I've hand a speculative e/w nibble at 50/1 with Paddy Power. Olly said in a recent video on his FB page that if any of his were to be good enough to contest the grade 1 novice hurdles at the festival it could be Nickolson & Dundrum Wood.
Olly seems to be rolling out his better types at the minute, Dundrum Wood is actually declared for a 2m maiden hurdle at Market Rasen tomorrow.
Malone road as short as 11/1 for the race now following Elliots tour comments and David Jenning touching on those watching his work last week 'waxing lyrical about him afterwards'

Comments like that make ante post punting really hard.
Malone Road performances last season were the best runs ive ever seen by any bumper horse (and I,ve witnessed thousands) showing so much speed along with staying power , he was without doubt the stables number 1 for the cheltenham bumper.
IT seems he still retains that blistering speed listening to Jennings, so for me it comes down to his jumping prowess to whether he can win the Supreme or not.IF he jumps as well as well as its suggested its going to be some sight seeing him run round Cheltenham.
Until he is beaten I will hold on to that visual impression he gave me , that I had just witnessed a budding superstar.

Could not agree more, visually a horse didn’t excite me more last season and all the vibes seems to be he retains all of that ability. Took the 20/1 for the supreme. That turn of foot was blistering!
Elliot said today in the tour if you had asked him which horse would have won the bumper he would have said Malone at the start of the season.
Not often does it happen, but at Down Royal when he bolted up, there really was a feeling he was special- i had a few up from down South for it + we all were almost in awe! Hopefully he does come back, and perhaps it's a blessing in disguise he missed the bumper.
He's my biggest position already and keep chipping away with the WH boosts any race at 13/1 as I've maxed out at 16/1 with Bet365. I also feel he looked very special last year.

Fair play CCM- i have backed him + happy to hear it wasn't a major injury, but i wouldn't be going so heavy on him until i see him on tha track (probably too late by then i know). Interesting to hear he starts off in a bumper- hopefully next weekend at Down Royal!

Go hard or go home I say jack
I'd say he will be something like 6/1 even if its only a Bumper he wins first time up so happy to take the risk now... but have the fall back of cash out with Bet365 and Any Race just in case with Hills.

Haha yeah i edited my reply slightly! Risk + reward i guess!
I hope Malone Road is an absolute weapon, he is my biggest 'any race' bet, although not my biggest Supreme winner!
My only concern with the Supreme route for him was that he has a PTP background, only two horses (I don't know how many have tried) since the turn of the millennium have managed to win a Supreme with that background, but here's hoping he can be number three!

Yes I can completely see where you are coming from with that CoD which is why I've not just backed for the Supreme. Plenty of stamina in his breeding... and I imagine it would only take an injury to Envoi Allen for the Ballymore to come a very realistic option.

Sitting on the wall for this one! ... I was equally as impressed by his turn of foot last year but would now question what he really did it against? He was also touted as more of a staying type, as backed up by his breeding and I can’t help feeling that his target would be different if it wasn’t for Envoi.

You need to stay well to win a Supreme.
It's clear they have always thought Envoi stayed better than Malone Road- they were aiming MR at the bumper ahead of Envoi Allen.
They have to juggle them around i guess + more will be learnt when the hit the track.
Formwise- he beat Valdieu, whom had finished 1.5Ls behind City Island the May before. Valdieu had a wealth of experience for a horse running a bumper + Malone Road beat him doing handstands. He has since went on to win a bumper + hurdle and is rated 129 over hurdles.
He also murdered Mt Leinster- who to be fair was one of Mullin's only bumper runners, he wasn't a star by any means but they did speak of him well. I'd say he turned up at all the big races as they hadn't run anything else.
Not sure i'd use form to crab him given it was just bumpers and he beat them with ease!
