In depth

Verdict

The market will be the best guide with no form to go on in this bumper. Nicky Henderson and Paul Nicholls are both represented with the former saddling Love Bite, a half-sister to the stable’s Grade 1 winners Might Bite and Beat That. She is much respected but is bred for further. BANTEER is a half-brother to two winners and may be more effective over this trip at present. Dan Skelton’s Mr Hope Street is a half-brother to a winner and Great D'Troice is a full brother to a winning hurdler and chaser and a half-brother to a winner on the Flat while Navajo Indy is a brother of Flat and hurdles winner Navajo Pass.
