FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Michael Halford, Joseph O'Brien and Aidan O'Brien are all two-handed here, and it's one of this grouping that gets the vote with COMFORT ZONE being a tentative choice. Connections of Comfort Zone, Joseph O'Brien, owner/breeders the McManus family, and jockey Shane Crosse, combined for a success in a Leopardstown two-year-old maiden on Saturday when Good Heavens got the job done. Comfort Zone came in for good market-support at Killarney last time, but he couldn't match a smart looking filly from the Harrington camp as Caroline Herschel impressed. Expect Comfort Zone to improve with experience. The know-how he's gained already may give the Churchill colt the edge over some interesting newcomers. Hopefully the market will give an accurate steer with the likes of Navajo Warrior and Westernesse.
