Verdict
Knowwhentoholdem won his bumper here but has shown next to nothing over hurdles so far. WESTERN GENERAL, on the other hand, has displayed promise at Exeter and Taunton and this looks a good opportunity for him to open his account as he will have the edge in experience over point-to-point winner Red Notice.
