FAINTLY had a valid excuse (set plenty to do) for losing his unbeaten record at this track last month, but there was plenty to like about the way that he stayed on from out of the pack to give chase to Table Manners. He's 2 from 2 over this C&D, and whilst this race is a grade higher, he should go close from the same mark (61). Wealth Tax is lightly raced and open to improvement now back over this 7F trip in handicaps, whilst it will be interesting to find out definitively as to whether or not Barwah is in foal, but she's a rock-solid likeable performer at this track; admittedly slightly stronger over 1m, but could prove well suited if the likely pace angle Destination Aim sets an end to end gallop.
