Lawney Hill's ability to transform horses from other yards has been amply demonstrated recently by SAFE INVESTMENT. Her new charge had won just once in 48 starts before moving in June, since when he's romped away with two handicap hurdles. Obviously the handicapper will catch up eventually but the gelding looks the one to be with. The booking of the excellent Gina Andrews is a further boost. Tiger Line ran well over C&D earlier this month and the generally consistent mare should be on the premises once again. Henri Prends Garde was heavily supported on his first run for Tim Vaughan after two years off but came up short. Yet to oblige over this trip over hurdles, this winning pointer remains one to keep on the right side.
