It not always a wise move to go with one on it's first run in a handicap but we do so here by siding with SADLER'S MARK who looks off a really light weight with Beat The Rush and Boston Blue looking the main dangers if we're wrong. Having easily beaten home a runner two starts ago who has since scored in a handicap off a mark of 75 the selection own rating of 69 looks a little lenient. There is further strength to that formline and after a solid reappearance he looks the call. Boston Blue races under a penalty for a ready victory last time and the extra weight shouldn't stop a big run. Beat The Rush was expected to follow up on his own score but could only end up a well held fourth and with him up in the weights again he looks best opposed. Boss's Destination looks the only other to take seriously here after victory last time but Sadlers Mark could be well-in here and we take that risk.
