Verdict

The four-year-old PEACHES AND CREAM (NAP) was well supported at Down Royal and though unable to pass Party Playboy was well clear of the remainder and can go one better. Bard Of Armagh has never won but produced his best effort to date at Bellewstown and normal progress will see him dangerous while top weight shouldn't prevent a big run from Bellgrove, who carried a big weight to victory over fences at Tramore and is on a 19lb lower mark over timber. Santa Anna didn't run well at Perth after a very good second over slightly shorter here while Major Fawcett has always given the impression that he could do better though his recent form leaves plenty to be desired. Rising hasn't had much experience but will be better for last month's run here, his first start since November.
