PRIVATE MALONE should make short work of these. A winning pointer, he took a Worcester maiden by six lengths on his debut under Rules and should have plenty more to offer. Baku Bay has also won between the flags but needs to improve on his fifth at Huntingdon if he's to trouble the selection while I'm A Joker makes his hurdling debut having finished tailed off in his latest bumper start. Sacrobleu has more scope than the latter but is likely to need more time.
