Returns third-up from a 27-day break with barrier 2 after a 5th of 7 at Istanbul on 9 Sep over 1200m (2Y COND4), where he carried 57kg on GOOD. Previously debuted with a 1200m win at Ankara on 28 Jul on GOOD carrying 57kg, beating Star Of Handel, and now rises 200m in trip. Inside draw should aid his settling, and his Ankara win suggests he has upside at this stage of his preparation.

First-up after 4 months, he returns from a winning 1100m run at Adana on 24 May (SOFT), where he drew barrier 4 and had Oy Yare as the runner-up. Prior to that he was 2nd at Ankara over 1100m on 2 May with E. Çankaya aboard, and now draws barrier 5 with a 300m rise in trip. Proven from this barrier range (2:1-1), he looks well set for another forward showing.

Debuted with a win at Ankara over 1200m (TB) 35 days ago, scoring from barrier 3 under Müslüm Çelik for İ Temel; steps to 1400m second-up. Unbeaten at the track and with the same rider-trainer combo, he maps to build on that promising start from barrier 8.

Debuted 30 days ago at Istanbul (1300m, TB) and won from barrier 4 under Ayhan Kurşun, beating Alpha Centauri, and returns second-up from the same draw. Stays with the same trainer-jockey combination that is 1/1, and the slight 100m distance rise looks a natural progression. Solid winning platform to build on.

Third-up and drawn well in barrier 3, he comes off a soft-track 1200m win at Ankara (TB) 19 days ago under 55kg with Vedat Abi̧ş aboard. That followed a debut 7th over 1200m at Istanbul in a 2Y COND 1, and he now stretches 200m which looks a natural progression. With a perfect track record (1:1-0-0) and the same jockey-trainer combo successful last start, he profiles as a solid chance to hold form.

Distance suits with a 1400m win two starts back at Izmir, beating Hansini, and his distance record reads (3:1-0-0). Recent efforts include 4th of 7 over 1400m at Izmir on 10 Sep (TB) and 5th of 7 over 1200m on 29 Aug, both on good ground. From barrier 6 again, the runner looks a genuine chance to hold a forward spot and run well.

Third-up and on a short turnaround, the runner comes off a 1300m Adana win nine days ago from barrier 11 under 53kg. Steps back 100m with an improved barrier to 7, and the same rider-trainer pairing that delivered that victory remains in place, which sets up another solid showing.

Second-up after a 77-day break, the runner draws the inside gate and steps up 100m. Debuted at Ankara over 1300m in a 2Y COND1, finishing 7th of 10 from barrier 8 under 57kg on good ground behind Little North. The softer draw should offer a kinder run-in-transit as he continues his preparation.
