The fitting of cheekpieces for the first time can see TASTE THE SALT register his first victory for Irish handler Joseph O'Brien. The selection has ran well in defeat on the AW in the recent past and can put his disappointing effort at Lingfield on Saturday behind him by taking this at the chief expense of Mrs Burbidge who returns to the Flat today following some good efforts over jumps in the autumn. Top weight Howardian Hills can claim third having placed off a higher mark here last September.
