GOLDEN INVESTMENT has been placed in three of four starts over fences. He looks capable of scoring off his current mark and Donald McCain’s charge won on good ground over timber last year. Nortonthorpelegend notched-up a hat-trick of chase wins at the turn of the year but has struggled after suffering a hike in the weights for winning at Ayr in January. Treat Yourself continues to slide down the handicap but has just the one success over fences in 29 attempts while Mossies Well and Scarlet Fire arrive in poor form though the latter was having his first start since 2015 when well beaten at Wetherby.
