    In depth

    Verdict

    Red Giant is the most experienced of these and held every chance when the victim of pilot error over a marathon trip last time at Sedgefield. He’d finished ahead of Lofgren previously at Warwick. I Just Know ran in the Grand National in April and had a pipe-opener over hurdles recently. DANDY MAN got off the mark over fences at Bangor earlier this month and is likely to progress further now he’s got his head in front.
