Racing education begins here for this son of Hawwaam; easy to see him making an impression with signs of encouragement in profile and his sire suggests the distance might suit.

Split a number of these rivals when not beaten far last month in a maiden plate; some promise; closest he has come to winning after six starts was a third; produced several respectable runs lately; a lot on his plate here and looks an unlikely winner.

Verdict

OCTOBER REEF looks set for a big run. He can take a step forward from an encouraging debut and can reverse last time's placings with Rising Eagle. A Roman Twist is respected while Echo Of The Wild is expected to take a forward step, and Hot Choice is one that needs plenty of respect.
