Safe Investment usually needs a run but the booking of Richard Johnson here might be significant. Epee Celeste won off a higher mark over hurdles at Towcester last month and Billybo is often placed, though has only ever won one race and that was over further on soft ground. KILLEGNEY's jumping has to be a concern but she has ability when remembering to pick her feet up and was second over hurdles off this mark at Stratford two runs ago- she gets a tentative vote.
