EMPIRE STEEL (3) ran well on season return at Kelso when a good third tackling a 3m2f limited handicap chase in October. Likely to improve now and this looks an ideal opportunity. Serious player to take the feature race. INTO OVERDRIVE (2) stayed on well to land this race last year by 0.5L. Returns for a new campaign. And rates highly. DOES HE KNOW (1) is a former Grade 2 scorer and showed ability at Newbury when third attempting the 2m7f G2 Denman chase in February. Include. HOUSTON TEXAS (6) steps up in class following a 3.25L success over 3m2f at Carlisle. Interesting.
