Verdict
Drumviredy won at Bangor in January but was never in the hunt last month at Leicester. Financial Climate turned in a shocker when favourite at Wincanton and appears to have lost the plot but Headly's Bridge is well treated nowadays and there was a bit more promise in his latest fourth at Exeter. GOLDEN INVESTMENT is not a confident selection as he appeared to have every chance when a beaten favourite at Musselburgh in January but he’s only run three times over fences and the extra yardage could bring about some improvement.
