CORNISH COMEDY showed improved form when second on chasing debut here in December and, with this longer distance likely to suit based on pedigree, he can leave behind a lesser effort returned to this venue. Next best could be Prince Cleni with his recent run behind him, while Daring Plan is another who is on a handy mark.
