PEACH MELBA (NAP) is ending the season in good form and followed a Newmarket success with victory in Listed company in Germany. Mark Johnston’s filly should have the measure of these on today’s terms. Rajar looks next best at the weights but never threatened when runner-up at Newmarket last week while Bumptious won a handicap at Chelmsford before struggling in a Listed contest at Ascot. Show Stealer and Pepita have been thereabouts over shorter trips in all-weather handicaps recently and recent Doncaster winner Toy Theatre also has plenty to find with the selection on these terms.
