FormscanBy 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.
