Proven at Ankara 2200m (2:1-1) and draws the rail, having won here two back in a 3Y HCP over 2200m with 59kg, defeating Tercal Nihat. Last start was 4th of 6 at Istanbul over 2100m and now nudges up 100m after a 20-day break, with Vedat Abi̇ş back aboard (2:0-2). Solid track-distance profile and barrier 1 give him a tidy set-up to run well.

Proven at Ankara (6:1-2-2) and comes here off a close 2nd over 1900m in a 3Y HCP 14 days ago from barrier 8, now drawing barrier 6. Earlier this prep he won a 1600m 3Y MDN on SOFT and placed twice at 1900m, so the 1600m drop looks suitable. Consistent local form suggests he can be competitive again under 58.5kg.

Returns to a staying trip after a 1200m Ankara run 30 days ago, with today’s 2200m more in his wheelhouse given a 2nd at 2200m at Istanbul on 27 May under 55.5kg. He has a solid record from middle barriers (3:0-2-0) and reunites with E. Çi̇zi̇k, who rode him into 2nd at Adana over 1300m. Back up in trip and drawn 5, he profiles to be competitive.

Fourth-up and drawn well in barrier 3, he improved to 3rd over 1600m at Ankara on 11 Jul in a 3UP HCP from barrier 10, carrying 56.5kg behind Seigreich and Schatz. His Ankara record reads (4:1-0-1) and he also won here over 1400m last year; the 600m rise in trip today is a notable shift. Solid local profile and a kinder draw give him a chance to build on that latest run.

Ultra-consistent in maidens at Ankara with four straight 4th-place finishes from 1400m to 1900m, including over 1900m on 27 Jun (3Y MDN, 13 runners) behind Eiko. Draws barrier 4 again and steps up 300m, which looks within his scope given those staying trips. Honest profile suggests he can be around the mark again.
