GOLDEN MOVE relished the step up to this distance when opening his account on handicap debut at Doncaster last time and a well-run race should bring further improvement out of him, so he gets the narrow vote in what looks a competitive affair. Satin also arrives on the up and is feared most, while Rajasthan appeals as the type to benefit from a step up to this distance, so he also makes the shortlist.
