On a short turnaround after a 2nd at Ankara over 1300m in 3Y MDN eight days ago from barrier 11, and now draws barrier 9 with 59kg. Consistent this prep with 5 runs for 1 second and 2 thirds, and recent placings at 1400m and 1600m add depth to the profile. Holds genuine claims if he backs up that latest run.

Placed in two of four runs this prep at Istanbul, including a 2nd over 1200m in 3Y COND1 when carrying 57kg from barrier 8 behind Hizli Yasin. Comes back 200m and rises to 58kg after a solid 1300m maiden 3rd two back and a 1400m 5th last time, with a short 14-day turnaround. Proven at the track and trip, so a competitive showing is within reach.

Draws barrier 1 and drops back 200m to 1200m fourth-up, with Istanbul stats reading (4:0-0-0) and the trip (1:0-0-0). Recent AR runs here were 9th of 14 over 1400m on 9 Oct and 9th of 9 over 1600m on Soft on 25 Sep carrying 57kg. Inside draw and distance tweak could help, but overall record suggests a measured view.

Fourth-up and back to 1200m, with the barrier improving to 4 from 8. Last start at Istanbul on 27 Sep over 1400m (AR) he finished 5th of 12 from barrier 8 under 57kg behind Karaköprü Ateşi. Consistent without featuring so far at the track and trip, but the softer draw could help him settle closer.

Second-up after finishing 11th of 11 over 1200m at Istanbul in a 3Y COND 1 three weeks ago, drawn 7 and carrying 57kg on GOOD when beaten by Çağrı Han. Drops 3kg to 54kg and draws barrier 5, which could help find a more economical run. Needs to lift on that debut effort but has setup tweaks to improve.

Second-up after a single run this season, having finished 9th of 15 over 1200m at Istanbul in a 3Y COND 1 three weeks ago from barrier 12 with 57kg. Stays at 57kg and draws barrier 11 this time, a minor improvement in the gate. With that experience at the track and trip, can strip fitter for this assignment.

Third-up and back to 1200m after a 9th of 14 in a 3Y MDN over 1400m at Istanbul two weeks ago (54kg), having raced from the inside draw. Prior start he faced stronger 3Y COND 1 company over 1200m from a wide barrier (11) with 57kg. Drawn barrier 2 again and drops to 54kg, so a cleaner run could see improvement.

On a short turnaround after a career-best 2nd at Ankara over 1300m in AR class eight days ago, jumping from barrier 9 with 55kg. Drops 100m and draws barrier 6 here, and his 1200m record (2:0-0-0) suggests he still has something to prove at the trip, but the recent placing signals progress.
