Formscan  - Assuming the forecast going doesn't dampen his enthusiasm, LORD BADDESLEY could be tough to overhaul if he steps forward from his facile reappearance win in a three-runner event at Newbury. That was his first start since undergoing wind surgery and, still potentially well treated off 7lb higher, Anthony Honeyball's 10-year-old has a convincing chance of following up. A winner over this trip at Newton Abbot last month, Royal Jewel is another must for consideration, while Sean Bowen reuniting with Courtland makes him shortlist material.
