I think Count Octave looks a decent e/w play in the Yorkshire Cup. On the face of it, no wins on turf may be a concern but his form whilst not winning is strong - 2nd to Stradivarius in the Queens Vase on GtF at RA followed that with another 2nd behind Call to Mind at Goodwood on good. I'm playing Octave as he should be fit to run today and there are signs of the Balding yard returning to form. Stradivarius could well pish up but I'll take a chance on the fitter Count.
