Idaho Sun ruled out of Supreme target
Harry Fry’s exciting Skybet Supreme Novices’ Hurdle contender Idaho Sun has been ruled out of the Cheltenham Festival opener due to a setback.
Sixth in last year's Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival, Idaho Sun was set to head to Prestbury Park with an unbeaten record over hurdles having accounted for Dan Skelton's classy Mydaddypaddy in the Grade 1 Formby Novices' Hurdle at Aintree on Boxing Day.
However, Idaho Sun, who was a general 12/1 shot for the contest, will now not line up.
Speaking on X, Fry said: "Idaho Sun will unfortunately miss the Supreme Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham next week due to a hind limb lameness that requires further diagnosis."
