Verdict
INVESTMENT EXPERT doesn't look an easy ride but was having just his third start when winning a maiden over course and distance two weeks ago under Seb Sanders. There is probably a lot more in the locker and a mark of 74 on his handicap debut looks manageable. It took Ocean Applause 19 attempts to get off the mark and he then disappointed when favourite at Kempton. He looks one to be wary of while Kickingthelilly and Chapter And Verse are better on the Polytrack. Brownsea Brink won at Kempton in November but hasn't raced since Boxing Day and could find a couple of these too sharp.
