Peaches And Cream looks the main reason for the Cromwell raid here and this out-and-out stayer may well back up a convincing Punchestown win over nearly 4m in late-April. Kieren Buckley takes off a handy 5lb but the gelding has to give an awful lot of weight to GO ON CHEZ, still unbeaten in five starts over fences under Rules. He's now no less than 37lb higher than when launching his winning spree but has shown little sign that the handicapper has caught up with him and impressed more than ever last time at Aintree. However, there's more than the pair to focus upon as Ruthless Article has a clear chance on the back of an excellent second here last time in the listed Summer Cup and is only up 2lb for that fine effort. El Paso Wood is also a possible.
