Forecasts

War Correspondent (9/2), Fiveonefive (9/2), Minx Tiara (7/1), So Scottish (7/1), Comfort Zone (7/1), Senecia (9/1), The Wallpark (9/1), Woodstream Lad (10/1), Summer Tide (11/1), The Names Jock (16/1), My Gaffer (16/1), Indiana Jones (18/1), Wouldn't You Agree (50/1)

COMFORT ZONE's hurdles wins have come at around 2m and he looks the way to go after a good run in a hot handicap at the Punchestown Festival. Minx Tiara and So Scottish are a couple of the other likely players in a competitive contest.
