Formscan  - Fantasy Believer made a perfect seasonal debut when landing the spoils in a class 4 event at Ascot last month and Ed Walker's gelding warrants respect racing off a 4lb higher mark. However, RATHGAR's class 2 victory at Yarmouth last time out looks stronger form and the four-year-old shades the verdict. Having finished a close-up third behind the selection that day, Have Secret is 3lb better off with that reopposing rival today and he also enters calculations.
