Cobra Commander has won around here and has gradually dropped to a winnable mark. Delgany Monarch only had two to beat at Plumpton in April but came home 25 lengths clear. MY BAD LUCY won twice at this level earlier this year with her defeat coming when upped in grade. She has a long break to overcome but may have more in the locker. The latter remark also applies to William Philo, who stays every yard of the trip, while Meechlands Magic was impressive at Worcester last month but did not get far five days later at Hereford.
