Formscan  - Champion Bumper sixth Idaho Sun impressed when making a winning hurdles bow at Fontwell and merits respect in his follow-up bid. However, a 5lb penalty could leave him vulnerable given the strength of DOCTOR BLUE's form. Sam Thomas' charge ran a cracker to just be denied on his timber debut in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham and any improvement will make him tough to hold out. Red Oak may chase the pair home.
