Second-up from a debut 7th of 8 over 1200m at Ankara, and now rises 200m to 1400m. Draws the rail after barrier 3 first-up and retains 57kg; the inside gate could help him settle handier. With natural improvement expected, a tidier showing is within reach.

First-up after 87 days, this 2YO resumes with 57kg and draws barrier 6, having had one prior run at Ankara over 1100m on soft ground. That debut was inconclusive but came against a six-runner field won by Rattlesnake, and he now stretches 300m in trip. A low-exposure profile with natural improvement possible second time at the track and for this rider-trainer combination.

Second-up after a sole run at Ankara over 1300m in a 2Y COND1 where he drew barrier 8 and finished 9th of 10 under 57kg on a Good track. Drops back 100m and comes up with barrier 3, which should aid his positioning. With that experience and a better draw, he can show improvement.

Runner-up on debut at Ankara over 1200m (Good) three weeks ago, beaten 0L by Blessed Storm, carrying 57kg from barrier 4 with H Karataş aboard. Second-up here rising 200m to 1400m from barrier 7, and reunites with the same jockey-trainer combo that produced that solid start. Progressive profile and the extra trip looks a natural next step.

Placed 3rd over 1200m at Sanliurfa two starts back before a tough 9th at Elazig from barrier 10 in a 2Y F MDN. Drops 2kg to 55kg and draws a touch better in barrier 8, with a 1-from-3 placing record when drawn 7-10. Capable of improving with a smoother run in transit.

Runner-up at Ankara over 1400m two starts back in a 2Y MDN, carrying 55kg from barrier 1 behind Yuriboyka, and now draws barrier 4 with the same jockey booked. Fourth-up and back to 55kg after carrying 51kg at Istanbul last time; the Ankara 1400m stats (track/distance 1:0-1-0) suggest this setup can suit.
