12:45 Kempton

The likeable GENERAL MEDRANO has taken really well to chasing winning impressively on debut in this sphere at Uttoxeter and then following up with plenty in hand at Huntingdon. He was beaten up in trip at Plumpton but the winner Brave Kingdom has already franked that form. He is just 1lb higher here and given he remains unexposed over 2 and a half miles he could easily improve again. He looks a horse on an upward curve and 6/1 represents value at the time of writing. Idalko Bihoue bolted up at Cheltenham when last seen back in October and 8lb higher here still looks the danger but does lack a run. Russian Ruler acquitted himself well in a race that has worked out at Newbury and is another one that must enter calculations.
