Caradak, winner of the 2006 G1 Prix De La Foret Casino Barriere De Biarritz at Longchamp will line up in the Topkapi Trophy run over eight furlongs, while Laverock will start in the twelve-furlong Bosphorus Cup. Jockey Kerrin McEvoy******* will be in the irons on both horses for Godolphin.

Turkey will become the fifteenth country in which Godolphin horses have competed in.
