Baddesley scored quite snugly at Fontwell last October but hasn't been seen since and now concedes 7lb and upwards to a host of potentially interesting sorts representing top yards. The market should prove most instructive but a chance is taken with HURRICANE MITCH for Harry Fry who has a very strong record in races of this nature. The selection was exceptionally green on debut but still came home a decent fifth and hopefully will have learnt plenty from the experience and deliver an improved showing now. The likes of Lydford Lad, Real Stone, Glentruan and George Of Naunton all represent leading handlers and require close market checks.
