Streets Ahead, Security Tiger and Franchoek are the three against the field in this open affair with a number of the runners seeing a racecourse for the first time with Security Tiger given the nod. A son of Trempolino, Alan King's debutant Franchoek can be expected to improve in due course when he steps up in trip. King has a good strike rate with his limited number of runners and any market move for Franchoek would be significant. Streets Ahead showed considerable improvement after his debut here, when finishing a good runner up at Epsom. That was a decent effort and with further improvement expected, Streets Ahead can go well for Andrew Balding. After finishing well beaten in hot contests at Newbury and Newmarket, Mick Channon's Secuirity Tiger was well backed at Beverley last time when dropped in grade. He looked like landing the gamble until headed close home and this easier track should suit. Security Tiger can take this.
