Plenty with claims in this. First Move made a promising start at Wolverhampton over today's distance and this is easier than the Newbury maiden Sternrubin finished sixth in last month. Tacticus made the frame on his debut over a mile but MISS CRYSTAL gets a tentative vote having finished third over 1m2f on the Polytrack in January. The newcomers Tiger Lily and Chatham House Rule further complicate matters and should be monitored in the betting.
