Verdict
INVESTISSEMENT went close in a claimer here last week with While You Wait well beaten in third. This shorter trip will not inconvenience Lee Carter's charge and he gets the vote. My Lord has been in woeful form since scoring at Goodwood in October while Den Maschine is having his first start since 2012 and has done all his winning on the Flat at Wolverhampton so far.
