MEDINAS was a shade disappointing when only third at Leicester on his latest start but an earlier second to Lets Get Serious at Fontwell has worked out well and Alan King's five-year-old is worth another chance in this grade. Twirling Magnet pounced late to collar Persian Snow over 2m1f at Sandown and should stay this longer trip. He looks the danger, despite his penalty, as French import Unpartou was beaten a long way at Wincanton on his first start for Paul Nicholls and Howard's Legacy was pulled up on his reappearance in November and hasn't been seen since. Rainbow Haze has hinted at ability and may be best of the rest.
