Verdict

It's hard to look past WESTERN GENERAL, who upped his game when second at Taunton last month and likely has more to offer yet. Point-winner Red Notice may prove most dangerous on his NH debut, particularly if the market vibes are strong, whilst Knowwhentoholdem can also make his presence felt.
