PEACE PARTY had only shown glimpses of ability before storming home at Gowran for which an 8lb rise may not prevent a double. Ricky Langford has been mixing it between hurdles and fences, scoring at Killarney and Down Royal, though he's another with a weight rise to contend with. Romella just saw off Go Gill Go in a tight battle at Roscommon and though 4lb worse off can confirm the form. Dawson's Cottage has been finding 2m4f too far since scoring over this trip last year but is still 10lb higher.
