RACING POST VERDICT

General Briar gets the vote at Newton Abbot, where his progressive profile appeals and he sits only 4 lb behind the top-rated Marhaba Prince on our figures, a gap an improving trajectory may help close. He is level with All Well And Good and Paddockwood on rating, so the preference rests on his upward curve rather than any clear superiority. Marhaba Prince is the obvious danger as the highest-rated runner, while the other two level-rated rivals also command respect in a competitive nine-runner field. Our selection is General Briar.
