Formscan - Last season's Grand National hero Corach Rambler has a good record when fresh and, having won half of his previous races over fences, he can again be relied upon to give his all. However, he runs off 13lb higher today and, given EMPIRE STEEL goes well here, this could be a good time to side with the Sandy Thomson-trained gelding, who runs off just 2lb higher than his last winning mark. A winner over C&D last time out, Elvis Mail is also respected off just 5lb higher.
