This is a pretty tricky low grade handicap to call and while last time out winners King's Icon and King Of Connaught are both respected they might now be a little high in the weights so we look to the potentially well treated OCEAN COUNTESS while Ela Gorrie Mou also makes the list. A winner here over a slightly shorter trip in a classified stakes race in May the pick held a subsequent winner when runner-up at Brighton last time off this mark. This looks tougher but if building on that he can get in front again. King Of Connaught has never won under a mark this high which is off putting and he only just got home last time when four pounds better off. King's Icon also scored on his latest attempt when taking advantage of a nice looking weight. He's up four pounds for that comfortable enough success and past evidence suggests his burden we'll stop him following up. Ela Gorrie Mou may want things softer under hoof to be seen at her best but her rating is more competitive now but in a trappy race we suggest minimum stakes for Ocean Countess.
