Verdict

Joseph O’Brien sends TASTE THE SALT across the Irish Sea on the back of placed efforts at Dundalk and she may well be good enough in this lowly grade. Sexy Secret was still beaten a long way when runner-up at Yarmouth in October and Dawn Goddess was nine lengths behind the winner when second at Chelmsford. But Ixelles Diamond was placed over track and trip off a higher mark early last year and Stringybark Creek won over a mile here on his penultimate start but has yet to race over this far.
