A rather motley looking bunch in this low grade handicap hurdle, and with no single horse standing out, it's best to concentrate on previous course winners. Momkinzain probably needed his latest start, so there might be better to come from him, whilst Cadore is handicapped to run a solid enough race. Byrongetonefree improved at Newcastle (AW) over the winter, so it's not entirely ruled out that he can finally come good over hurdles, whilst Bell Weir is clearly handicapped to win, but seems to have forgotten how to do so nowadays. Therefore, with 2m an inadequate test last month, GREEN ZONE is a speculative shout in the hope that he can recapture the sort of form that saw him win twice over C&D during last summer.
