Consistent 3YO with recent stakes form, finishing 5th in a 3Y GROUP 3 over 2200m at Istanbul 12 days ago, and earlier 4th in a 2000m GROUP 2 there.

Arrives in consistent form at this track (5:1-2-2), coming off a 2nd in a 3Y COND over 1500m at Istanbul 12 days ago under 58kg behind Jazz Runner. Prior winner over 1400m here and now stretches 400m in trip from a favourable barrier 5, with a strong partnership record for A. Sözen (3:1-1-1). Well set up to hold form and be competitive again.

Prolific at Istanbul and this trip, boasting strong stats (track 4:3-0-0, 1900m 4:3-0-0, track/trip 2:2-0-0). Comes back 12 days after a 6th of 9 in a 2200m 3Y GROUP 3, now dropping 300m and drawn well in barrier 4. Proven winning at 1900m in July and looks well placed back to his pet distance.

Comments

Comes here 13 days after a 2200m Ankara win in 3Y HCP 15, scoring from barrier 6 with 59.5kg on good ground. Prior 1900m form reads well with 2nds and a 3rd, so the slight drop back in trip suits on exposed stats. With barrier 7 and solid recent consistency, he profiles as a genuine contender.

Proven at Istanbul with a solid record (16:5-3-4) and has a positive partnership with the current jockey (9:3-1-2). Recent efforts include 3rd over 2000m at Bursa and 3rd in a 2100m 3Y COND 9 at Istanbul, and he draws barrier 8 with a slight drop back in trip. Genuine claims if he reproduces that staying form back at this track.

Returns to 1900m after a 7th of 9 over 2200m at Istanbul in 3Y GROUP 3 12 days ago, and draws well in barrier 3 where his record from 1–3 is solid (5:2-1-0). Notably ran 2nd over 2100m here in July and has a prior 2nd on soft in May, suggesting this track and trip hold no fears. With Ahmet Çelik having previously partnered him into a placing, he appeals as a competitive chance back in distance.

On a short turnaround after a 5th of 8 over 1900m at Istanbul on 16 Aug from barrier 8, and he now draws barrier 6. Won over this track and trip on 2 Aug carrying 53kg, beating Pevrul, and is 1-from-2 at the Istanbul 1900. With a solid local record and the rider having won on him before, he profiles as a credible chance at the trip.

Comes off a 1900m Istanbul win on 24 Jul in 3UP COND, scoring from barrier 5 under 53.5kg, and is unbeaten at the trip (1:1-0-0) and at the track/distance. Draws barrier 1 and is fourth-up, with an Istanbul record of (9:2-0-2) suggesting he handles this venue well. Solid claims from the inside draw given the recent win and suitable set-up.
