      In depth

      Verdict

      Azza was given a confidence-booster over hurdles after falling at Southwell in August and she can't be ignored off a low weight. Five lengths separated Sedgemoor Express and Bullet Street in a better contest at Worcester in August and the former is actually better off here so should confirm the form. But the handicapper has taken a real chance with THE BEAR TRAP, who will have learned plenty from his chasing bow at Bangor in April when he needed the run. He also returns from a break here but has the size and scope to make a chaser and A P McCoy is back on board. Ballincurrig is useful but may be a few pounds too high at present.
