Arrives fourth-up off a 1400m Ankara win 19 days ago (58.5kg), adding to a strong track profile (Ankara 4:2-0-1) and a solid 1500m record (2:1-0-0). Draws barrier 5 where he’s performed well (barriers 4-6: 7:3-1-1), and reunites with a jockey striking at 6 wins from 12 on him. Rock-solid local credentials suggest he’s right in the mix back to 1500m.

Outstanding Ankara record (9:5-0-2) and draws barrier 3, which aligns with his favourable low-gate stats (barriers 1-3: 10:5-0-1). Comes off a 5th of 8 in a 3UP GROUP 2 at Bursa over 1400m 15 days ago and now steps slightly to 1500m, a trip where he’s placed and has a track-distance placing at Ankara. With V.abİş aboard (jockey combo 6:5-0-1), he profiles well back to his preferred venue.

Proven at Ankara (4:1-2-0) and twice runner-up at the 1500m here, including in a 3Y HCP on 16 Jun behind Golden Promise. Draws barrier 1 again and comes off a 1300m run 26 days ago, stepping back up 200m which looks suitable given his track/distance record (2:0-2-0). Well set up to be competitive from the inside draw.

Arrives off back-to-back Ankara 1300m wins on good ground, the latest from barrier 1 under Ahmet Çelik, who is 2-from-2 on him. Proven at this venue (5:2-2-1) and draws barrier 2 with a 200m step up in trip, which looks a manageable tweak on current form.

Proven at Ankara with a strong track record (8:3-2-1) and back to a venue he’s handled well. Second-up after 12 days, he draws barrier 4 (better than last start) with Müslüm Çelik aboard, a pairing that’s 1:1-0-0. Measured chance if he can improve on the recent 1500m run in 3UP COND.
