9/2
Fair maiden hurdler posted a good sixth of 12 in novice at Doncaster (19.4f) 39 days ago. Since undergone breathing surgery so is very much one to consider with this longer trip also a likely plus.

Built on bumper promise when third of 6 in novice at Southwell (20.4f) on his hurdles bow 21 months ago. Should still progress despite his long absence.

7/2
A fair 7f winner on Flat for Aidan O'Brien and has shown similar form over hurdles for his present stable, third of 8 at Fakenham (20f) 44 days ago. May do better with cheekpieces added. Solid claims.

10/11
Runner-up on his bumper debut and again on his hurdling bow (after 10 months off) in 11-runner novice at Worcester (23f, good) in September. Has another lay-off to overcome but remains one to consider.
|
Timeform
A fair 1m4f Flat winner but off 22 months before beating only one on his yard/hurdling debut in 2m Southwell novice 15 days ago. Needs to take a major step forward.

11/2
£75,000 point recruit who landed a Sedgefield bumper in December. Posted a solid fourth in similar company here last month and commands plenty of respect now going hurdling.

Forecasts

Moonset (10/11), Mohawk Chief (7/2), Idaho Valley (9/2), Lady Kluck (11/2), Ilestdancingspirit (20/1), Peerless Percy (300/1)

Verdict

IDAHO VALLEY rates just the pick of these on form and on the back of wind surgery and with this longest trip he's tackled to date another plus he edges the vote from Dan Skelton's hurdling newcomer Lady Kluck. Mohawk Chief and Moonset both need factoring into this open-looking maiden hurdle too.
