How to write a condition or eval that compares the value after performing addition or subtraction in xml?

I want to set a token based on whether the value of the difference between two tokens is greater than a set value e.g:

<condition match="$secondToken$-$firstToken$>86400">
    <eval token="evalToken">$firstToken$+86400</eval>
</condition>
<condition>
    <eval token="evalToken">$firstToken$+1800</eval>
</condition>

The else condition works with no issue its the condition match that currently isn't working.

i don't have any issues with this if i do <condition match="$secondToken$-$firstToken$&gt;86400">

just as a runanywhere dashboard to test:

<form script="showtokens.js">
  <label>test</label>
  <init>
    <set token="firstToken">1200</set>
    <set token="secondToken">96000</set>
  </init>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <table>
        <search>
          <query>index=_internal|stats count by host</query>
          <earliest>-24h@h</earliest>
          <latest>now</latest>
          <progress>
            <condition match="$secondToken$-$firstToken$>86400">
              <eval token="evalToken">$firstToken$+86400</eval>
            </condition>
            <condition>
              <eval token="evalToken">$firstToken$+1800</eval>
            </condition>
          </progress>
        </search>
        <option name="drilldown">none</option>
      </table>
    </panel>
  </row>
</form>
