MAKE GOLDEN INVESTMENT

-

Golden Investment can prove a wise wager in the Northern Lights Staying Chase Series Handicap Chase Final at Carlisle tomorrow.

Donald McCain’s eightyear-old has already given his supporters a return when winning at Wetherby just a couple of weeks ago.

A repeat of his gallant victory over 15 rivals under the steadier of 12st will make him a formidable foe.

That was his first race for five months, so he is entitled to strip fitter and maybe improve further for the in-form McCain stable.

The Cholmondel­ey handler can also strike with Lastbutnot­least, who makes her fencing debut in the Houghton Mares’ Listed Chase.

The last horse ever bought by the late Ginger McCain, Lastbutnot­least looked a bright prospect when winning a Listed novice hurdle at Doncaster in March.

Fly Vinnie got off to the best possible start for his new trainer Alistair Whillans when successful at Musselburg­h three weeks ago.

He can give weight all round in the Northern Lights Stayers’ Handicap Hurdle Series Final.

The Romford Pele looked revitalise­d at Aintree when striking first time for Slad trainer Tom George and the former smart staying hurdler for Rebecca Curtis can take the Wymeswold Veterans’ Handicap Chase at Leicester.

He was well backed that day and he should be able to defy a 5lb rise in the ratings now that he has rediscover­ed his form.

A 7lb rise for a cosy victory at Warwick should not stop Dan Skelton’s One For Billy following up in the Waltham-On-The-Wolds Handicap Hurdle.
