Proven at Istanbul and 1600m, having won his only try at the track and trip, and he resumes first up with a perfect prep record (1:1-0-0). Last seen 117 days ago when 4th of 11 over 1400m at Istanbul (GOOD3) from barrier 5, and he now draws 6 with a slight step up in trip. Solid profile for a return run at this course and distance.

Draws barrier 2 and drops 400m after a solid 4th of 9 over 1200m at Istanbul 16 days ago in a 3Y HCP, having previously won a 1300m 3Y HCP there from a wide draw. Istanbul record is handy (10:1-0-2) and the track suits. With the soft gate and recent Istanbul form, can give a good account.

Strong 1400m efforts two and three back at Istanbul, including 2nd behind Power Maker on 14 Jun (58.5kg) and a closing 4th in a 3Y HCP on 1 Jul from the outside barrier. Back to 1600m today after a 2100m miss and drawn 9 (better than recent wide gates), which could help him hold a handy spot.

Returns from a 28-day break with a 200m drop in trip after finishing 7th over 1400m at Istanbul from barrier 1. Prior to that she was competitive at Ankara, including a 4th over 1200m from a wide gate and an earlier 1400m win, and she now draws barrier 7 where her record from barriers 7-10 reads (5:1-2-0). Well placed back in trip and a handy draw could see her give a forward showing.

Broke through second-up this prep with a 1400m Istanbul 3Y MDN win 16 days ago from barrier 13, sticking on to beat Thief In Marrakesh. Now draws barrier 3 and stretches 200m, with the same jockey-trainer combination that has delivered a (3:1-0-0) return at the track. Progressive profile and the draw should aid another forward showing.

Broke through 13 days ago at Ankara over 1200m (3Y MDN) carrying 60kg, with O Papatya the runner-up, and now rises 400m. Prior Istanbul efforts were sound, including 2nd in a 2000m 3Y MDN and a 3rd over 1500m, and he draws barrier 8 with Ö.yildirim aboard. In consistent form this season (1:1-0-0) and looks well placed to hold his level at 1600m.

Consistent without threatening, finishing 5th in three of the last four at Istanbul including 1200m (3Y HCP) on 12 Aug and 1400m on 22 Jul. Steps up 400m to 1600m where the only try resulted in 6th, but draws better in barrier 4 and carries 52kg with a new rider engaged. Place claims with a soft run from the gate.

Second-up and back to 1200m after an 8th of 9 over this trip at Istanbul 16 days ago in a 3Y HCP under 52kg with B. Akçay. Has a Istanbul record of (8:1-0-2) and a positive barrier profile (from gates 4-6: 2:1-0-1), so a better draw in 5 could help her settle and improve.

Draws the inside gate after working from wider alleys in recent runs, and drops back 400m which could help after midfield finishes over 1900–2100m. Last start was 9th of 18 in a 3Y MDN at Bursa over 2000m from barrier 12 under 56kg, with Boreal winning. Istanbul record shows six runs without a placing, so the favourable barrier will need to spark improvement.
