A tight one to call but First Order is given the chance to redeem himself after a below par effort at Beverly last time. Tyne and Out Of Mind are others to seriously consider if supported though. The Sir Mark Prescott-trained selection is sure to have learnt from his latest start where he pulled too hard off a steady early pace, and failed to get home as a result. However, the Knavesmire lends itself to his style of running and more forceful tactics from George Duffield can see First Order home today.
