Gavin Cromwell believes Peaches and Cream can provide him a sweet treat at Kelso. The awesome Irish handler is eyeing a huge Saturday at Cheltenham with favourites Millforce and Bottler’secret leading a six-horse charge for honours on day two of the season’s opening meeting at Prestbury Park.
However, Cromwell also has eyes on a lucrative Scottish prize as his nine-year-old heads for the prestigious Edinburgh Gin Chase in the Borders.
The handicap, worth over a juicy £26,000 to the winner, is the 3.55pm highlight of a cracking seven-race Kelso card. Lucinda Russell’s highly-talented Apple Away heads the market with course winners Famous Bridge, Young Buster and Elvis Mail also involved in a highly-competitive clash.
However, Cromwell is adamant Peaches and Cream should not be written-off and can get in the shake-up with ex-champ Brian Hughes taking the ride.
