Second-up after a debut 5th of 8 at Istanbul over 1200m in a 2Y COND 1, carrying 57kg from barrier 4 on Good going. Sticks at 57kg, draws barrier 5, and comes back slightly in trip, which could help sharpen him. With just 13 days between runs, natural improvement can see him more competitive.

Debuted 33 days ago at Bursa over 1200m in a 2Y COND, finishing 3rd of 8 behind Rebel Hoof, carrying 57kg from barrier 7. Second-up here with a better draw in barrier 4 and a slight 100m drop in trip; can build on that initial effort.

Second-up after a single outing at Istanbul over 1300m in a 2Y COND where he finished 9th of 11 from barrier 2 with 57kg. Draws barrier 6 this time and sticks to 1300m; natural improvement second-up would see him more competitive.

Promising debut at Bursa over 1200m in a 2Y COND, finishing 2nd of 5 at level weights (57kg) behind Me And The Devil, and now returns second up after 33 days. Steps up 100m and draws barrier 8 after jumping from 4 last time, with a jockey and trainer change since the debut. Solid platform to build on if he handles the extra trip.

Progressed nicely second-up at Istanbul over 1400m, finishing 2nd of 11 behind Shade Of Amidala on GOOD going with 57kg. Third-up today from barrier 3 and dropping 100m, with a prior 4th over 1000m, he shapes as a consistent type suited by the draw. Well placed to run another honest race.

Second-up after a 65-day break, having finished 6th of 7 over 1200m at Kocaeli on 2 Jul, drawn widest and beaten behind Sluicifer. Steps back slightly in trip to 1100m and moves from barrier 7 to 10, with 57kg again; the setup suggests he’ll need to improve on that debut effort.

Resumes first up after a debut 3rd at Istanbul over 1000m (GOOD) from barrier 8, carrying 57kg behind Scythian and Kimdraka. Up 300m in trip and draws barrier 7, and has already placed at the track and from a similar gate. Well placed to build on that opening effort.

Second-up after a debut 5th of 7 at Istanbul over 1200m (2Y COND 1) 13 days ago, carrying 57kg from barrier 8. Draws the inside gate here and steps up 100m, which could help him settle handier. With that run under the belt and a better barrier, he can improve.

Debuted 22 days ago at Istanbul and ran 2nd of 11 in a 2Y COND over 1300m on GOOD, carrying 57kg from barrier 9 behind Ada Efsanesi. Second-up now from barrier 2, staying at 1300m with the same weight, which sets up well on the quick progression. Genuine chance to build on that solid start.

Improved sharply second-up when 2nd at Bursa over 1400m in a 2Y MDN, carrying 55kg from barrier 5, and now third-up on a 12-day turnaround. Drops 100m and draws barrier 9, with O. Atmaca staying on after partnering that placing; holding form and looks ready to run well again.
