Formscan  - WESTERN GENERAL produced a career-best effort when romping home at Wincanton last month and the handicapper put him up 10lb for that triumph. Providing the seven-year-old remains in similar form, he may prove difficult to beat. Hypotenus was kindly dropped 2lb after his third at Sandown last month and he would be dangerous to dismiss, while Mackenberg sports first-time cheekpieces and is another to consider.
