Third-up after a runner-up finish at Ankara over 1200m in a 2Y MDN (57kg) 22 days ago. Previously 3rd at Kocaeli over 1100m in a 2Y COND (57kg), and now steps up 200m from that last run with barrier 3. A consistent early profile (2:0-1-1) suggests this youngster can figure again.

Fourth-up after three Ankara 1200m runs, best effort a 5th of 9 in a 2Y MDN on 9 Jun behind Noble Crest from barrier 2. Latest was 9th of 9 at Ankara on 4 Jul over 1200m behind Al Yele, and now tackles a 200m distance change from barrier 2. Looking for improvement with the distance tweak and a low gate.
