Verdict
SAINT OF KATOWICE has form in the book with a promising third at Redcar on his debut and can land this with normal progress. Packet Racket showed little on his introduction and Richard Fahey’s colt looks to have more to fear from one of the newcomers. Of those, Baltic State is a half-brother to a couple of winning sprinters and is preferred to Ainsdale and the North American-bred Volatile Analyst.
