Cream completes 113/1 double for Cromwell

Peaches And Cream completed a 113/1 double for Gavin Cromwell at Wexford, as he claimed the Slaney Beginners Chase.

A three time winner over flights last year, the five-year-old son of Salutino failed to make a significant impact on his first two tries over the larger obstacles.

Both of those recent efforts came on good ground and back on yielding to soft this afternoon, he came in for good market support, going off a 17/2 chance having been available at 25s in early shows.

Having raced in fourth for much of the contest, the bay victor improved into a share of the lead from three out and was pushed to the front before the next.

He had the measure of his nearest rival from the last and kept on well from there to record a comfortable three-and-a-half-length success. Roi De Dubai (10/3 into 5/2 favouritism) filled the runner-up spot under Ben Harvey for John McConnell, while the easy to back Braid Blue (11/8 out to 11/4) finished a well-beaten fourth.

Cromwell, who was earlier on the mark with Walk Me Home said: "It's nice to have a double. We didn't have a great week in Galway but we did have a winner at Kilbeggan.

"This fella just jumps for fun, he jumps brilliant. A bit of an ease in the ground obviously helped him. I've no plan for him now, we'll see what the handicapper does."

Jonathan Moore was aboard the winner and it was his first day back in saddle since Tramore on July 25th. The Wexford pilot missed the Galway Festival due to a six day whip ban which he picked up at Downpatrick on July 15th.
