Formscan - As expected with a decent pot on offer, this is wide open and only a tentative vote can go to NAVAJO INDY. The son of Nathaniel got off the mark over hurdles at Wincanton last April before returning to win under a penalty at Bangor in October. A mark of 120 proved lenient as he landed the Gerry Feilden at Newbury the following month and further progress could be forthcoming. Kabral Du Mathan lost his unbeaten record in a premier handicap at Ascot last month but that was another excellent performance and he's of obvious interest again, while others to note include Beat The Bat, Knickerbockerglory and Hansard.
