      Verdict

      Golden Investment was one of three co-favourites in the North Yorkshire Grand National here last month but unseated his rider at halfway. He’s only won one of his 12 chase starts and still looks too high in the weights. Sharp Response should be winning soon but has never raced over a trip this far. RED INFANTRY left previous form behind when fitted with a visor at Doncaster. He was going away again in the closing stages so should handle the extra furlong and a 6lb rise. Justforjames hasn’t taken to fences so far and Allmyown also looks worth opposing.
