Ottoman
Confidence: Medium

Ottoman (SR:67, 11/4, 9-9) shares the top SR in the field with Al Maslool but arrives with far more compelling supporting signals. The market has shortened 55% from its opening price — significant steam that demands respect — and a last-time-out win (form reads -83251, rightmost being 1) confirms he is in peak form. Stepping up in class (↑1) is the one reservation, but his mark is +7 above his last win price, suggesting the handicapper already has him pegged higher, and the weight of 9-9 is manageable at this level for the highest-rated runner. David Probert (9%, 719 career rides) is a competent booking and the Greenall/Guerriero yard (12%, 487 runners) is a productive operation. Each-way alternative: Mr Moonshine. Main danger: Al Maslool — Al Maslool (SR:67, 11/4, 9-4) shares the top SR, carries 5lb less than Ottoman, and has the weight advantage of a 3-year-old allowance, though his GoingFit:- on today's Good ground is a genuine concern that partly explains the 7% drift from William Haggas's yard.
