SOCIAL BEE (2) appeals off two Istanbul 2000m wins this prep, latest 12 Jun carrying 58kg from barrier 1, and reunites with K. Gökçe (1:1-0-0); up to 2200m looks suitable from barrier 3. DONE THIS (3) was runner-up in the 3Y HCP at Istanbul over 2000m on 24 Jun under 61kg from barrier 1 and draws barrier 2 today, a range he handles well (barriers 1–3: 7:3-1-1). THE CHOSEN (4) scored at Istanbul over 2100m on 24 May with 61kg, then finished 4th in that 24 Jun 2000m 3Y HCP, and drops to 54kg here. ARNO RABEL (5) was 3rd in the same 24 Jun 2000m 3Y HCP carrying 53.5kg; rises to 56kg but gains barrier 1 and steps to 2200m on a GOOD track.

Drawn 6, he owns a handy record from barriers 4-6 (10:2-1-2) and has been reliable at Istanbul (27:3-6-5). Last start 10th of 18 in a Group 2 3Y at Istanbul over 2000m (Good) on 28 Jun carrying 58kg behind Shadow Soldier, having previously run 2nd of 8 over 2000m on 29 May with 56kg behind Son Of Saint. Up 3kg to 61kg and a 200m distance change today; capable of giving a sight if reproducing that May effort.

Comes off an Istanbul 2000m win on 12 Jun carrying 58kg, with Another Moment 2nd. The K. Gökçe/T. Taşar combo is 1:1-0-0 and he again draws low in barrier 3, with barriers 1–3 reading (7:2-0-2). Seasonal return is solid (14:4-2-3) and a 200m distance change looks within range given his recent 2000m platform.

Runner-up at Istanbul on 24 Jun over 2000m in a 3Y HCP from barrier 1 under 61kg, behind Şafakateş. Drops to 58kg and draws barrier 2; records at the track (12:3-2-1), on Good (10:3-2-1), and from barriers 1-3 (7:3-1-1) are positives. The current rider has a 1:1-0-0 record with the horse, suggesting the setup suits again.

Placed 3rd at Istanbul over 2000m in a 3Y HCP on 24 Jun (7 runners), behind Şafakateş and Done This. Draws barrier 1 and returns to Istanbul, where his record is 1:0-0-1, with a 1-from-4 strike when drawn 1–3. Carries 56kg, up 2.5kg from that run, and with only a 200m distance shift he looks capable of holding his form.
