Formscan - Open Secret could only manage fourth on his handicap debut at Doncaster, but he has to be considered now in maiden company with a top rating of 78 in this contest. However, TACTICIAN could improve past him. Andrew Balding's colt has finished fifth on each of his two starts to date and he kept on at one pace over an extended 1m3f at Yarmouth, suggesting this step up in trip would be a good move. Story Horse is another to consider.
