      Verdict

      POSTMASTER broke a blood vessel and was pulled-up in the Grand National last month but is much the best of these. He's won his last two starts in this company including a defeat of Bermuda Boy at Ludlow in March and should be first past the post here with a clear round. Start Royal scored over a shorter trip at this track in February and should be thereabouts again despite being well beaten at Ascot last time while Or Jaune could prove best of the remainder on his form of a couple of years ago.
