BOMBYX probably didn't have much to beat at Huntingdon last week but it was still an impressive start to his hurdle career and he looks up to defying a penalty. Lord Baddesley remains open to progress on his first outing since an early unseat in a Cheltenham Grade 2 in January and he can provide the chief threat ahead of Market Rasen bumper winner Italian Spirit.
