Tailed off on first two starts and while it's interesting connections are yet to geld him, he's like to do better when he's qualified for a handicap mark.

30/100
Promising third on debut at Goodwood, finishing behind two very exciting prospects. AW may not be his bag but this son of Frankel looks like the class horse in the contest and could be very hard to beat if ready to go off a lay-off.

Cheap purchase as a yearling at the sales and not without some signs of ability but has been well beaten on both starts and still showing signs of greenness last time.

25/1
Cheap purchase and he looks up against it on debut against some classy types with experience; it could also prove too much of a stamina test on debut.
Very green on racecourse debut at Lingfield but step up in trip is likely to suit and trainer has a fantastic record, particularly with his younger horses. She looks the main danger to the Frankel colt.

Forecasts

Count Octave (30/100), Utopian Dream (3/1), Piccoloro (25/1), Elite Icon (66/1), Astrostorm (66/1)

Verdict

There was plenty to like about the debut of Count Octave and a repeat of that performance could be enough to take what looks like a weak looking maiden. Utopian Dream looks the main danger and the application of first-time blinkers could bring about some improvement; connections should always be respected in these affairs. Elite Icon has shown glimmers of ability and may just prove best of the rest.
  1. Count Octave
  2. Utopian Dream
  3. Elite Icon
