Verdict
Jamie Snowden clearly sees a future for DONNIE AZOFF (NAP) over fences as the gelding turns up here on the back of just half a dozen starts over timber. He's been in fair form this year and can land a debut chasing success against rivals with question marks. Courtland is hard to weigh up having shown little in his last four starts and it's never easy to predict which version of Glajou is going to turn up. The plus for both of the aforementioned is that they are better handicapped if rediscovering their best. However, Abaya Du Mathan - solid and consistent - is seen as the main threat as he's usually there or thereabouts and Feel The Pinch completes the shortlist as he's gone well enough since joining current connections four starts ago, including when successful at Bangor.
