This is something I regularly search for and more and more often I’m finding people posting code versions when all I really want is the URL parameter to force it. So luckily I stumbled across SharePoint Den page that posts the following

http://site/List1/Forms/DispForm.aspx/&InitialTabID=Ribbon.Read

 

So cheers chap, the more places this version is shown I hope helps someone else find the way correct for them
