This is a decent staying handicap that may go to the possibly well handicapped BEAR VALLEY who seemed revitalized on his first start for new connections last time out. On his King George V Handicap third last summer he is handicapped to go very well. The two Godolphin representatives look big dangers. Top weight Ocean of Love is on a hattrick. He has shot up the ratings but should be thereabouts attempting to defy another 8lb rise, while Key Bid tackles the A/W for the first time for his in-form yard. Others to consider inlcude St Mary's and Velvet Revolution.
