Carries 57kg from barrier 10 with H.çi̇zi̇k booked for U.bi̇li̇k. By Amerikali out of Molto Bene, with Scarface as the dam-sire. From the draw, a clean jump and early rhythm look important to give Black Sovereign its chance.

Third-up after two Istanbul runs for 6th at 800m (17 Apr, GOOD) and 6th of 6 at 1000m (29 May, GOOD), the latest behind King Cemil carrying 55kg. Steps up 200m today and rises to 57kg from last start. Needs to lift on those efforts but the extra trip may help.
