Third-up and back to Istanbul, the runner arrives 16 days between runs with a 300m rise in trip to 1300m from a close 2nd over 1200m in a 3Y COND1 on 30 Aug behind Sarayburnu. Draws barrier 5 after jumping from 7 last time, and owns a track record of (2:0-1-0), suggesting another honest showing at this setup.

Returns to 1600m after a solid 4th of 8 over 1400m at Istanbul 14 days ago, and draws barrier 4 after the inside gate last time. Earlier this prep he was runner-up over 1300m and has been consistently racing at Istanbul, with a second from four runs at the track this season. Honest recent efforts suggest he can be competitive again at this trip.

Third-up and back to Istanbul after a solid 3rd over 1200m in a 3Y COND1 on Aug 30, then 8th in a 1300m 3Y MDN on Sep 9. Draws barrier 7 after jumping from 10 last time, with Gökhan Kocakaya continuing; the 300m drop in trip could help sharpen his finish. A measured chance to rebound if he reproduces his first-up effort.

On a 14-day turnaround after finishing 6th of 10 over 1400m at Istanbul (AR) with 57kg, having been 7th of 14 at Kocaeli over 1200m prior. His best recent effort was a 5th of 11 in a 3Y MDN at Kocaeli over 1500m from barrier 11, and he now draws barrier 6 with the same trainer-jockey combination as two starts back. Honest efforts at 1200–1500m suggest he can be competitive again with a smoother run.

Returned 11th of 11 over 1200m at Ankara eight days ago on soft, but had been a consistent 4th in three of his prior four runs at 1200–1400m. Steps up 400m here with 57kg after carrying 53kg last time, and draws barrier 8 after a series of wider gates in Istanbul. Recent efforts suggest he can settle into the frame with a cleaner run.

Backing up on a 7-day turnaround, the runner draws barrier 1 and rises 200m after a 9th of 21 over 1400m at Istanbul on soft. Earlier this month he was a close 2nd in a 3Y MDN over 1300m at Istanbul carrying 60kg. Inside draw and a return to 60kg could see him hold a handy spot and give a sight.

Consistent at Istanbul with a (3:0-2-1) track record, and arrives third-up after a 2nd over 1400m (AR) here 14 days ago. Draws barrier 3 and carries 57kg after racing with 52kg in recent runs, stepping up 200m on the back of a 1300m/1400m prep. Honest profile suggests he should run well again from a favourable gate.

Draws barrier 2 after landing the outside gate last time, which should offer a more economical run. Recent Istanbul efforts include a 4th of 12 over 1500m (GOOD) on 16 Aug and a 5th of 11 over 1400m, suggesting she’s been holding a competitive level. With 55kg and a more favourable map, the runner has grounds to improve.
