Formscan - Banteer will no doubt prove popular with his trainer Paul Nicholls enjoying another fine season with his bumper runners and the son of Westerner boasts strong credentials. Mr Hope Street and Love Bite, a half-sister to top-class chaser Might Bite, represent leading connections and have to be respected, but NAVAJO INDY makes plenty of appeal. The only four-year-old in the field, he is a full-brother to Navajo Pass, who was a useful performer on the Flat before being sent hurdling, and it would be no surprise if the gelding possessed too much speed for his more stoutly-bred rivals.
