Malibu Rock looks on a potentially handy mark in the 2.40 at Kempton today and worth an each-way wager at 20/1.

The gelding has only had six starts over hurdles and caught the eye on the second of those when an 18 length fifth of 10 to Saddlers Encore at Wincanton when showing plenty of pace to chase the leaders until weakening two from home.

Saddlers Encore has won twice since – including a valuable contest at Sandown when last seen in action – and is now rated 135, and the runner-up Southfield Vic is now rated 148 over hurdles and 145 over fences.

That represents strong form in the context of this class 4 contest, and having been alloted and opening handicap mark of 109 Mailbu Rock is now able to race of just 100 on his first start for trainer Chris Gordon.

It makes him look nicelyu treated if ready to roll on his first starts for 413 days, especially as he ran well on his handicap debut off 109 when a 4 3/4 length fourth at Towcester.

Daily Sport recommended bet: 2pts each-way Malibu Rock (20/1 Stan James – BOG)
