Verdict
Mr Harp was still beaten a long way when runner-up over track and trip on his debut though it’s better form than the others with racecourse experience have managed so far. Mister Murchan won a point-to-point in Ireland in January and could go well for new connections but a newcomer may prove good enough and BADDESLEY represents last year’s winning yard. He’s a brother to a winner over hurdles and Chris Gordon’s charge is preferred to both Bigunonthebalcony and Cloud Formation.
