Pureis King (Fr)

Age: 4
Weight: 9st 11lbs
Or: 55

Landed a bumper at Market Rasen on his debut in October. Little show initially on Flat but he built on recent Lingfield second with a comfortable success in 1¼m classified event at Ffos Las 2 days ago. Looks up to completing the hat-trick on handicap bow.

Ottoman (Ire)

Course winner who was much sharper for his reappearance when a solid third of 13 in handicap at Bath 12 days ago. Booking of Billy Loughnane is a plus so he's not out of things.

Ended a long losing sequence in 7-runner handicap over C&D 31 days ago. Had race run to suit there so bit more is needed off a 4 lb higher mark.

Fourteen runs since his last win in 2024 and a below-form eighth of 13 in classified event here (7f) 17 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Others more persuasive.

Ex-French maiden who has offered little for her current yard, beating only one in handicap over C&D last month. Not easy to make a case for.

Timeform Verdict

PUREIS KING scored in good style in classified company at Ffos Las on Tuesday and is fancied to follow up now stepping into handicap company for the first time. Ottoman appeals as the one to chase home Faye Bramley's 4-y-o ahead of in-form Myna.

Betting Forecast

2/1 Pureis King (Fr), 8/1 Ottoman (Ire), 4/1 Clipsham Noble (Ire), 6/1 Pisanello (Ire), 20/1 Coverbridge, 40/1 Duke Orsino, 40/1 Majestic Leo (Ire), 40/1 Abila (Fr)
