Formscan By Stuart Howden - WEST OF IDAHO arrives in sparkling form, having won four times between the flags so far this year. He separated those victories with a solid second over this course and distance in one of these events back in March and is difficult to oppose on that form. Weespoof finished a long way behind the selection when second in a Necarne point-to-point last time, so Everest The Brave may prove a bigger danger on his only his third outing.

A steeplechase for ] Certified Hunters five years old and upwards that have not won a race under any N.H. Rules or Rules of Racing and that have between 1st October, 2022 and 17th May, 2026 been placed either first, second, third or fourth in a Point-To-Point Steeplechase in Ireland or second, third or fourth in a Certified Hunters Steeplechase in Ireland
