Verdict

This looks to rest between both IRISH ART and Sadlers Beach. The former is preferred with the strong possibility of further improvement to come, now that he tackles 1m2f for the first time on what is just his second start in a handicap. The latter of the pair has had an outing this season, but the form of that seasonal return is not very strong and you would have hoped he would have been up to winning then if he was going to be considered as a serious win contender today. Vin D'Honneur holds solid place claims, if none the worse for her two month break.
