FormscanBy Stuart Howden - OPEN SECRET stayed well on the Flat winning over 1m6f and earned a rating in the high 70s. The Cracksman gelding was switched to hurdles by current connections when fourth over 2m5f at Navan last month and should benefit from that experience. Gin Tonic fetched 120,000 euro at the sales after a promising second between the flags at Loughanmore in April and market support would be interesting on his Rules debut, while Jury Foreman was noted keeping on into sixth on debut at Listowel last month and should be suited by this step up in trip. Black Gem’s third behind the long odds-on Love Me Tender at Kilbeggan has been well advertised since.
A hurdle for four years old only, maidens at startingWeights - 11st 7lbs. Fillies allowed 7lbs.
