There looks to be little between these on today's terms but KEEN MOVE has the best piece of recent form. He found only one too good over track and trip last time and a repeat should see him go close again. Let Right be Done ran well over a mile here on his latest start and stays this longer distance but Percy Veer was well beaten when third at the track last week. Ivors Involvement posted a better effort last time but Helmsman is less exposed and preferred.
