Drawn barrier 11 and carries 57kg with S. özen booked for Ö.f.taşdelen. By Bodyguard Hero out of Letthemusictakeus (by Holy Roman Emperor), bringing a tidy pedigree. The wide gate will put a premium on a clean break and early positioning.

Stepped to 1400m at Ankara 12 days ago and finished 5th of 8 in TB company from barrier 6 at 57kg, with Afamia winning and Yonaguni 2nd. Prior run was 6th of 11 over 1300m at Istanbul in a 2Y MDN. Barrier 6 again and 57kg look familiar; the runner can build on those efforts.

Back to 1400m after a 1600m run at Izmir, he returns to the trip where he finished 2nd at Bursa under Eren Kadirler, and he again draws barrier 4. Drops to 54kg from 57kg and reunites with the same jockey-trainer combo that produced that placing, so a repeat of that effort puts him in the mix.

Fourth-up and down 2kg to 55kg, with A. Aslan back aboard after partnering the 3rd over 1100m at Kocaeli. Last start finished 6th/10 at Kocaeli over 1400m (TB) from barrier 10 on good behind Mulholland Drive, after a 7th/11 in a 2YF MDN over 1200m. Track record reads (3:0-0-1), so the weight relief could help progress from a similar draw.

Third up on a 7-day turnaround, drops 100m from a 1500m run and rises to 55kg (+2kg). Yet to place at the track (4:0-0-0) or at 1400m (2:0-0-0), including two tries at the track and trip. From barrier 12, a sharper showing third up would be encouraging.
