the least negative one goes fwd as it is more "feasible" than the more negative one.
Another way of remembering :
(the more reactive the metal is , the more stable it is in the ionic form)
the one that has the lower electrode potential value is more reactive - so it prefers to remain in the ionic form.
Therefore it will not reduce from +2 or +3 (or any positive value) to zero.
