The ground has dried out to good at Ballinrobe and Malone Road will not now take up his engagement in the 5.15.
There have been a few market movers elsewhere on the eight-race card.
In the opening 3-y-o maiden hurdle at 4.40, there has been some support for both Cobb And Co (12/1 into 15/2) and Little Brother (12s into 8/1).
Jessica Harrington ’s seasonal and handicap debutante Heliers Bay is 4/1 from 10/1 in the 5.45.
Twice a winner on the Flat in Germany a couple of years ago, there’s been money for Eddie Cawley’s Breezy Bell (10s into 9/2) in the 6.15 albeit there are three non-runners in this heat.
Mark McNiff ’s horses have been flying and, off bottom weight, Pump Road has shortened from 10/1 into 3/1 in the 7.45.
Emmet Mullins’ newcomer Bubbles In May (2/1 into 11/8) is fancied in the bumper with the trainer’s cousin Patrick taking the mount.
