COMFORT ZONE looked well above average as a novice and, having run well on the Flat when last seen 6 months ago, he's fancied to add to an excellent strike rate in this sphere, with an opening mark of 132 potentially lenient. Risk Belle shaped better than the result in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham last time, so he's one to consider, while Westport Cove is likely to put a tame run behind him.
