Race preview
COMFORT ZONE won three times in juvenile hurdles and while without a victory in nearly two years, has given cause for optimism. The dual-purpose gelding beat all bar Satin in the Petingo Handicap at Leopardstown on his only Flat start last year and ran a cracker in another valuable handicap this summer when third to The Wallpark in a 2m6f hurdle at the Galway Festival. He had a couple of these behind when a creditable seventh last time in the Irish Cesarewitch. Chemistry is an obvious threat having beaten all bar stablemate Fighter in this year's renewal of the Petingo, while Pinot Gris, Man O Work and Jabbar are others for the shortlist.
