On a short turnaround after a 5th of 8 over 1800m at Kocaeli six days ago, and now stretches back out 200m. Earlier this prep he filled the frame at Adana, including a 3rd over 1900m and a 2nd of 12 behind Lion Icardi. Drawn barrier 3 again and with a 2000m record yet to place (2:0-0-0), he profiles as a consistent type who needs to lift at the trip.

On a short turnaround after a 2nd at Kocaeli over 1800m in 3Y COND, and now steps up 200m to 2000m. Has placed 3rd at Istanbul over 1500m this prep and draws barrier 4, which aligns with a barrier record of two 2nds from gates 4-6. Akin Sözen reunites (1:0-0-1), and a measured showing at the trip looks within reach.

On a short turnaround after a 4th of 8 over 1900m at Istanbul on 14 Jun from barrier 8, and prior was runner-up over 1600m on 31 May from a wide gate (15). Steps to 2000m where his record is (3:0-1-0), with barrier 6 and V.abiş taking over. Consistent recent efforts suggest he can be competitive at the trip.

Fourth-up and on a 15‑day turnaround, he improved to 2nd at Istanbul over 1500m on 7 Jun from barrier 12 carrying 58kg, chasing home Ghost Of Night in a 12‑runner field. That followed a solid 4th over 1400m on 1 May from the outside alley, suggesting he’s trending the right way. Draw improves to barrier 7 here, which should aid another forward showing.

Back on a short turnaround after an Izmir 2000m run eight days ago from barrier 13, and now draws barrier 8. Earlier this prep has been consistent around the minors, including 4th at Izmir over 1200m on 23 May and 5th over 1900m on 16 May, both on GOOD. Honest recent efforts suggest a competitive showing if he holds that level up in trip.

Returns from a 64‑day freshen with a recent 2000m Istanbul profile of 4th, 5th and 6th, and has yet to place at the trip (4:0-0-0) or track (11:0-0-0). Notably, the best recent effort came over 1800m at Bursa when 3rd behind Ice Drops and Emery. With barrier 5 and A. Yildiz back on, a honest showing is possible without strong exposed figures at this course and distance.

Found the frame two back at Adana over 2000m (3rd of 14 on 10 May) and has been kept to similar trips since. Draws barrier 2 and returns after 29 days with E. Çizik riding for İ. Köroğlu. Solid at this distance (2:0-0-1) and can hold a spot from the gate.
