Verdict

WEALTH TAX is one of the least exposed and should be sharper for last month’s reappearance at Kempton. Josh Quinn’s allowance helps his cause today and he gets the vote to reverse latest running with third-placed Camakasi and Take Two as he drops down a grade. Bluff Crag was runner-up at Lingfield recently but was behind Maroc at Windsor before that while Fast And Hot has a shout off his current mark and the same can be said of Pink Ribbon.
