Verdict

EMPIRE STEEL evidently has something of a penchant for Kelso, making it 3-4 here when taking notable scalps in a listed race in March. Everything looks in place for a big run from Sandy Thompson's charge and he is taken to get the better of another high-profile rival in Corach Rambler. The latter was a brilliant winner of the Grand National and may well have more to offer this season, but this could be the day to take him on (needed his reappearance run last term). Rapper is best of the rest.
