Verdict
Only Tidal's Baby has run on ground with cut but the overall level of his form suggests he'll find a couple too good. The Burke yard had a tremendous time of things over the weekend and Baltic Fizz should certainly progress from a pleasing debut when runner-up at Hamilton. However, the debut run of EMIRATES ART makes slightly more appeal. She ran into all sorts of problems on the Lingfield POLYTRACK both hampered and forced wide, but still finished with a flourish to gain the minor placing. Improvement looks assured and she'll surely enjoy an easier passage in this small field over the straight six. My Sharona has shown sufficient ability in maiden company at Salisbury and Newbury to suggest she can get involved.
