    Verdict

    The 2017 Grand National winner One For Arthur is having his first run since and has a bit to find with a couple of these at the weights. Acdc faces an even stiffer task on these terms and, barring accidents, this should chiefly rest between Definitly Red and DOUBLE SHUFFLE. The latter was almost certainly flattered by his second to Might Bite in last year’s King George and he fell at the first in the Charlie Hall at Wetherby on his reappearance when Brian Ellison’s charge eventually bettered Black Corton. But Tom George’s runner is getting 8lb and will make a race of it with last year’s winner granted a clear round.
