General Medrano
Selected at: 20/1

Impressive winner over the extended 2m at Newbury in November and would have won at Doncaster when last seen if he didn’t hit the front so soon, reeled in late on when trading very short in running. This big field should help him and he should come there with every chance jumping the last.
