£150,000 Tattersalls October Auction Stakes (GBB Race)

Debut winner and gelded after finishing third to top 2yo Zavateri in Group 2 July Stakes; no better than fourth in two sales races subsequently, though wasn't drawn great at Naas and didn't get the best of passages at Doncaster (extended 6f; good to soft); remains of interest and now tongue tied; 7f could suit; possible.

Won his novice here over 6f in May; ran quite well in a nursery at Glorious Goodwood but pretty much tailed off in other four races since mid-June; has lots on at these weights.

Won at Windsor and then ran creditably in the Woodcote at Epsom (again at 6f, good to soft); had 97 days off prior to finishing down the field in a sales race at Doncaster (extended 6f) and not overly appealing on the back of that.

Softening ground wouldn't harm having won his 7f Sandown nursery on soft and run perfectly well off his 4lb higher mark at Doncaster (good to soft); this is a different kettle of fish altogether and he probably lacks the scope for the improvement that he'll need.

Could improve for the step up to 7f as he was strong through the line when second in a 6f sales race on the July course, which was improved form; this has the look of a much deeper race, however.
