Forecasts
Timeless Treaty (4/6), Open Secret (2/1), Parnell Street (15/2), Bon Viveur (14/1)
It may pay to focus on the Gordon Elliott pair and following a solid fourth in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham last time, improving OPEN SECRET is taken to get the better of stablemate Timeless Treaty, who gets the vote of confidence from Jack Kennedy but has a 6 lb penalty to defy for his recent C&D win.
