Parnell Street
7/2
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.

Race Hints

Specific Pace Hint: Parnell Street could be expected to race prominently. Of those in the front half of the betting forecast, Timeless Treaty might be well positioned in a slowly run affair.
