Verdict
INVESTMENT MANAGER returned from an absence to post a gutsy success at Newton Abbot on a first start in a handicap. He's been upped 6lb but looked an improved performer that day and his chance is strengthened by the high form of the Tizzards. Steady The Ship is lightly-raced but showed promise in bumper/maiden hurdle company and should improve this term. He may need the run though and does have topweight. Voodoo Doll rediscovered form the last day and is respected, whilst Induno, off over a year, is the one to note in the market for David Pipe on his return to action. His last run at Cheltenham was very promising and there's surely has more to come.
