On My Command ran well in all three starts over hurdles last season. She’s switched stables but should be winning soon, though may meet her match today in MOONAMACAROONA. Alan King’s five-year-old won bumpers at Warwick and Chepstow at the start of the year and is bred for jumping. Glimpse Of Gala would have been the equal of her two market rivals in bumpers but she carries a penalty having landed the odds at Fontwell last month.
