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.
