On Tuesday my selection Peaches And Cream failed to finish. The 11/4 favourite was up with the leaders and a close 5th until he stumbled on landing 3 out. He made no further impression and fell at the last. The race was won by the 5/1 shot Somptueux.
Leopardstown hosts the midweek meeting where the highlight of an 8 race card is the 3.45 when 10 begin the Heritage Stakes. Lope Y Fernandez is a smart colt who looked to be back in top form when 3rd to Order Of Australia in the Breeders Cup Mile at Keeneland back in November and he is the one to beat here. Ancient Spirit picked up two wins from five runs last year including this race,his last run was over in France where he was 4th in the Prix Daniel Wildensten at Longchamp in October. Despite being off 6 months he has a good chance of winning this for a second time. The other one to look at is Mr Wendell who also achieved two wins last year both of his were at Gowran Park including his career best in September. The combination of this being his first run of 2021 and his yard having good recent form means he cannot be overlooked.
Big race prediction: 8: Lope Y Fernandez.
