      Verdict

      SIMPLY NED is much the best of these and can carry top weight to victory. He finished a creditable second in a Grade 1 novices' chase at Aintree in March. Jet Master returns to action off an 8lb higher mark having ended last season with a double over these fences while Toledo Gold carries a penalty for his victory at Hexham during the week. The latter is upped in class today along with Perth runner-up Scotch Warrior.
