Purist

Purist is a two-year-old still finding its feet in racing, having made a single appearance so far without troubling the winners. The horse finished fifth in that outing just a day ago, suggesting the trainer Ollie Sangster may be plotting a quicker route back to the track while the experience is fresh. Sangster's Marlborough yard has been in fine form this season, sending out 46 winners already, so there is clearly expertise on hand to help this young horse improve on its debut effort.
