Consistent at Istanbul with a (6:0-4-1) track record, and arrives off a 2nd over 1600m here 12 days ago under 60kg in AR company. Has placed at 1400m and draws barrier 6 with Gökhan Kocakaya again engaged, which looks a suitable set-up. Honest profile suggests another forward showing.

Runner-up on debut at Istanbul over 1300m (GOOD) on 2 Aug, finishing 2nd of 10 behind Dayday carrying 57kg. Forgive the subsequent 13th of 15 at Ankara over 1200m; now third-up with a 200m rise in trip and a slightly better barrier, which can help him settle and build on his early promise.

Second-up after a 6th of 10 at Istanbul over 1200m in a 3Y COND1, drawn wide from barrier 9 and carrying 57kg. Steps to 1400m with a slightly better barrier (8) on a 10-day turnaround, which could help build on that debut effort. Measured improver with race fitness now.

Fourth-up and back from 1500m, he improved to 5th of 13 over 1300m at Istanbul on 26 Aug (GOOD) from barrier 8. Draws better in barrier 3 today after that effort, and remains on a short 14-day turnaround which could help him hold that progress.

Fourth-up and draws barrier 1 after jumping from 8 last time, which could afford a softer run. Recent efforts include 5th of 11 in a 3Y MDN over 1500m at Kocaeli on 13 Aug and 7th of 14 over 1200m there on 27 Aug. With a 200m rise in trip and 57kg again, an economical map can help him be more competitive.

Returns to Istanbul 12 days after finishing 11th of 12 over 1200m, having also beaten only a few home at Kocaeli over 1400m prior. Drawn barrier 9 after wider alleys recently and up 200m from last start, needing to lift on exposed figures this prep.

Second-up after a solid 3rd at Istanbul over 1300m (AR) two weeks ago, drawn better from barrier 4 after landing barrier 3 there and carrying 52kg. Owns a consistent Istanbul record (2:0-1-1) and has already placed for today’s rider.

Fourth-up and back to 1300m after two unplaced efforts this season at Istanbul, most recently 12th of 15 over 1300m (AR) on 26 Aug under 55kg. Best recent run was first-up 6th/13 in a 3Y FILLIES COND over 1200m on 19 Jul carrying 57kg from barrier 5, and she draws barrier 5 again here. Needs to lift on this track where she’s yet to place, but the setup is similar to her more competitive effort.

Draws barrier 2 after a career-best 5th of 15 at Istanbul over 1300m (AR) a fortnight ago from gate 9 with 52kg. Steps to 1400m with the same rider engaged and has prior experience at this trip in a 3Y MDN at Istanbul. Well drawn to build on recent improvement.

Third-up after two Istanbul runs, including 8th of 13 over 1200m on 10 Jul (GOOD) and 8th of 14 in a 3Y COND over 1300m on 1 Jul from the outside barrier. Steps out 200m and draws barrier 10 after jumping from 1 last time, with CurrentTrack record 2:0-0-0. Needs to lift on exposed figures but may improve with the extra trip.
