FormscanBy Alan Magee - 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.

An extended handicap for three years old and upwards that have run three or more times under any Rules of Racing up to and including 30th September, 2024, at least one of those runs having been over a distance of eleven furlongs or more on or after 1st September, 2023 (105 = 10st)
Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
