Verdict
GREEN ZONE, a six times course winner, is the obvious starting point in a race that won’t take much winning. He’s probably high enough in the weights at present but Danny McMenamin takes off 7lb. Viscount Wilson was second at Naas and Wexford earlier in the year but never travelling when pulled up over 2m here last time while fellow Irish raider has shown nothing over hurdles and has been chasing lately. Winning pointer Amalfi Doug is having a first run for new connections but is 0-9 under Rules.
