Forecasts

Merlin Giant (7/2), Comfort Zone (4/1), Jackfinbar (11/2), Nusret (13/2), Dartan (10/1), Etna Rosso (10/1), Satin (14/1), Golden Twilight (14/1), Ceallach (14/1), Imaginarium (16/1), No Niki No (18/1), Burren Song (25/1), Nibiru (25/1), Enfranchise (25/1), La Hacienda (25/1), Bold Approach (50/1)

COMFORT ZONE developed into a useful hurdler last season, winning the Triumph Hurdle Trial at Cheltenham on his latest outing in January, and he's open to further improvement making only his second handicap start on the Flat. The 4-y-o is taken to see off the challenge of stablemate Nusret, while Merlin Giant and Jackfinbar are others who also merit consideration.
