Keep Moving was a course and distance winner last season off a 3lb higher mark. He hasn’t quite matched that effort this term but usually runs his race and will be hard to keep out of the frame today. DEFINITE DILEMMA is 0-6 under Rules but the winning pointer has been knocking on the door over slightly shorter trips at Fontwell recently and he’s due a win.
