5d best sort of capital investment h?l?

I have champers for 4a (wine found in many picnic baskets) so 5d begins with h. i had thought of gilt

Capital investment can mean headwear so possibly HAIR would be the best thing to have on your head?

Champers looks right - C (many) + HAMPERS (baskets)

Maybe Halo?

[kayakamina]

Why Halo ?

[vegasmad]

I was just thinking that if it could be headwear, then the "best" could be meant as in "saintliest" - hence Halo. It's probably completely wrong but just thought I'd suggest it.

gilt has also been suggested previously - perhaps we also need the two intersecting clues...

ignroe my last posting, I'm just a lazy reader

[kayakamina]

Is the third letter an i or an I as you give both? If the H is from Champers then the starting is H not G.

[quinie]

Yesterday I suggested halo and I still think it could be the answer. Capital can mean to do with the head and investment needn't mean anything concerning money What could be better than a halo????

[kayakamina]

I was trying to establish what the placed letters were but got no response.

thank you all for your help. i have just got back to the computer now. sorry kayakamina that i didn't explain myself more clearly. the h was in champers. i will put in halo and hope for the best. never win anyway!
