Donnie Azoff has placed in only one of his three hurdle starts to date but has been given a rating of 107. Imperial Sun has switched yards since a modest debut over hurdles at Ludlow but did win over 1m4f on the all-weather. Mr Hailstone has ability but needs to brush up his jumping so we’ll take a chance on the winning pointer SOUND AND FURY (NAP) making his debut under Rules for a yard that has done well with similar types in the past.
