Yet to place from 4 starts at Istanbul (4:0-0-0), most recently 9th of 12 over 1500m there on 7 Jun (GOOD) carrying 55kg in a race won by Ghost Of Night. Also finished 8th of 10 over 1400m on 8 Apr. Faces a 500m distance change and now has G.özçeli̇k from barrier 3, so needs to find improvement.

Third-up and coming off an 8th of 14 at Bursa on 5 Jun over 1800m (GOOD) behind Lupin. Draws barrier 2 after a 4-gate improvement and makes a 200m distance tweak; a tidier run is within reach.

Resumes after 11 months and returns to Istanbul where his record reads (4:0-2-0). Best run last prep was a 2nd over 1400m here on 9 Jul 2025 on GOOD, carrying 57kg under A. Yildiz behind Mucho Bueno, and he also filled 2nd over 1200m behind Upamecano. If he turns up near that level fresh, he can be competitive.

Held 5th of 11 over 1400m at Kocaeli on 4 Jun 2026 (58kg, good), behind Hevsel. Previously 7th of 12 over 2000m at Istanbul on 20 May with Clarissa scoring, and now faces a 600m distance change. Winless in 6 starts but recent midfield efforts suggest he can be around the mark again.

Second-up after debuting at Istanbul on 7 Jun over 1500m, finishing 11th of 12 behind Ghost Of Night with 56kg. Faces a 500m distance change and again draws barrier 6 with E.bozdağ taking the ride; needs to lift on that initial run.

On a short turnaround and up 600m to 2000m from barrier 1. Best recent effort was 5th/13 at Istanbul over 2000m on 20 May with Müs.Çelik up (58kg), and a similar setup today gives him a chance to hold a position and improve.
