WEST OF IDAHO made an encouraging start under Rules when runner-up over C&D in March and arriving fit from points, David Christie's 6-y-o should prove tough to beat. Everest The Brave is an interesting Rules newcomer for Gavin Cromwell and he could well give the selection something to think about if he's above average.
