A winner over 1m4f in January, INVESTMENT WORLD failed to land the odds when dropped back in distance at Kempton on his latest start. He's gone close on this surface before and today's more testing conditions should see Mark Johnston's charge back to winning ways. Trojan Touch was not beaten far over a mile here last month and has claims if his stamina holds out, while Captain Bellamy showed a slight improvement at Kempton a week ago and the American-bred gelding may do better on this surface. Sing Alana Sing should improve for the longer trip and looks best of the rest.
