Formscan - Haas Boy was a consistent performer last term, displaying plenty of promise on his two outings over obstacles. The Huntingdon winner gave a good account behind a subsequent winner when runner-up at Sedgefield last time out and he demands the utmost respect on his seasonal reappearance. Preference, however, goes to BADDESLEY, who kept on strongly to record a decisive victory at Plumpton last month. The Chris Gordon-trained gelding was given a confident ride from the front on that occasion and gets the nod to defy a 4lb rise. Northern Poet can follow them home.
