Consistent at Istanbul this prep with 4 runs for two 2nds and two 3rds, including a 3rd over 1300m here five days ago behind Whitewalkers and Eccelso. Also placed over 1200m on Jul 3 and twice at 1000m earlier, showing versatility across trips. On a short turnaround and drawn 6, he profiles as a reliable chance to be in the finish again.

Second-up after a debut 3rd at Istanbul over 1200m, beaten behind The Last Dragon and Warrior Pointe. Draws barrier 3 and steps slightly to 1300m off a 15-day turnaround, which looks a suitable progression for this preparation.

Draws barrier 1 after a solid 3rd at Kocaeli over 1100m on 9 Jun in a 2Y MDN, carrying 57kg behind Crimson Power and Steel Wings. Comes here off 25 days with a slight step to 1200m and a 5-barrier improvement from last start, which could help him hold a spot. Honest juvenile who can be competitive with a similar trip.

Second-up on a short turnaround after finishing 5th of 5 over 1200m at Istanbul (2Y COND) eight days ago, drawn barrier 7 with 57kg. Prior start was 5th of 7 over 800m at the same track on good ground. Needs to lift but the slight distance rise and added race experience could help.

Runner-up over 1000m at Istanbul two starts back in a 2Y MDN, chasing Innerbloom on GOOD going. Fourth-up today from barrier 2 and coming off a 1200m run here; the slight step back to 1100m looks suitable for this progressive juvenile.

Debuted 43 days ago at Istanbul over 1000m on GOOD, finishing 3rd of 9 from barrier 3 under 57kg behind Mayback and Coral Reefs. Second-up here and steps to 1300m from barrier 5 with the same jockey-trainer combo that produced that placing, which reads well for further improvement.

Runner-up at both Istanbul starts, latest over 1200m in 2Y COND FILLIES when chasing home Rock Of Beautiful, and now third-up with a 100m rise in trip. Carries 53kg again and draws barrier 8 after 6 last time; solid, consistent profile for another forward showing.

Second-up after a 64-day break and draws barrier 4 after debuting from the outside gate at Istanbul. On debut (Istanbul, 24 May, 1000m, GOOD) finished 9th of 10 from barrier 10 carrying 55kg behind Atomic Age. Steps to 1300m which could suit better, and the improved draw offers a softer run.
