Third on his debut on the Polytrack, First Move finished nearer last at Thirsk last time. Ehtifaal also disappointed at Doncaster last month but heavy ground was a legitimate excuse and he just has the edge over Arcamante on today's terms. The latter made the frame in a claiming race at Windsor recently, but the vote goes to Nottingham runner-up MAID OF THE GLENS, who should prove well suited to today's longer trip and can open her account.
