Progressive 3yo with a strong this-season record (4:3-1-0), including back-to-back Istanbul 1200m wins, most recently from barrier 2 defeating Asaletli Çocuk.

Strong this season (6:3-0-3) and draws barrier 1, with an excellent record for the current jockey (4:2-0-2) and at Istanbul (3:1-0-2). On a short turnaround after a 3rd at Ankara over 1200m eight days ago and returns to Istanbul, where he won over 1200m on 25 Jun. Well set up from the inside draw to run another honest race.

Consistent at Istanbul with three thirds from four runs, including back-to-back 3rds over 1300m on 31 May and 10 June in 3Y company. Comes off a short turnaround of 9 days after an 8th at Bursa and draws barrier 7; capable of bouncing back to a placing on known track form.

Won at Ankara over 1200m on 4 Jun before a credible 4th of 5 at Istanbul on 14 Jun, then failed to beat a runner home over 1200m at Istanbul 12 days ago behind Hasnenni. Returns to 1000m with a 2-barrier improvement to 5 and reunites with E. Çankaya; overall seasonal return of 1-1-1 from 6 suggests there’s enough base form to rebound.

Arrives on a short turnaround after back-to-back Istanbul 1400m wins, most recently from barrier 7 with 54kg under B. Çığla. Unbeaten at the trip and track/distance (2:2-0-0), and draws barrier 2 here with the same rider. Progressive profile this prep suggests he can hold form.

Third-up and back to 1000m after a 1200m run 20 days ago, he draws better from barrier 4 after jumping from 6 last time. Won over 1200m at Istanbul on 3 Jun (GOOD) with 57kg, and retains H. Karataş who is 1-from-2 aboard. Proven at the track and set up to be competitive under 54kg.

On a short turnaround after a 2nd at Istanbul over 1400m (GOOD) from barrier 6, backing up the maiden win at the same track and trip on 21 Jun. Strong at 1400m and at this track (track-distance 2:1-1), with E.bozdağ and A.tepebaşı combining effectively (4:1-1). Solid claims to hold form back to the same setup with 57kg from barrier 6.
