Comments

Arrives fourth-up off back-to-back Istanbul wins at 2200m and 2400m on Good, most recently from barrier 3 in a 3Y HCP, and is 2-from-3 on Good and (5:2-0-3) at the track. Steps back 500m and rises 6kg to 61.5kg, but draws well in barrier 4 and reunites with a jockey who is 1/1 on him. Solid profile and the set-up looks workable despite the weight.

Comments

Proven at Istanbul (11:2-4-0) and twice runner-up over 1500m earlier this prep, including behind Wolf Rules and Mucho Bueno. Comes here off a 35-day break with a sharp 700m drop in trip from recent 1200–1600m efforts, and rises to 59kg with A.sözen aboard, who is 1:1-0-0 with this yard. Genuine claims if the return to sprinting sharpens him.

Comments

Strong last-start winner at Istanbul over 1900m on Good, scoring from barrier 7 two weeks ago and now up 5kg to 58kg. Proven at the trip (1900m: 3:1-0-0) and holds a sound track record at Istanbul (2:1-0-0), with a prior 3rd over 2200m adding staying depth. Weight rises and a new rider are the tests, but recent form and course credentials keep him in the mix.

Arrives in form with two wins from his last three at Istanbul, then 2nd over 1400m here 16 days ago behind Gilmour. Draws barrier 1 and reunites with Gökhan Kocakaya (2:1-1), with a slight weight rise to 58kg; profiles to get the right run and hold his form.

Proven at the trip with a strong 1900m record (2:1-1-0) and effective on good ground (8:2-1-1).Ran 2nd at Bursa over 2100m on 6 Jul (3Y HCP) before a close 3rd at Bursa over 2000m on 31 Jul, both on good, and now drops 100m from a favourable barrier 5 with 57kg. Holds a consistent profile and maps to be competitive again.

Consistent at Istanbul with thirds at 1900m and 1600m last two, including behind Darkrok and Pevrul most recently 14 days ago. Steps up to 54.5kg but draws well in barrier 2, and retains Nevzat Avci (1:0-0-1 together). Solid profile at the trip and track suggests he can figure again.

Comes into this fourth up with a tidy Istanbul record (3:1-0-2) and is unbeaten at 1900m here, breaking the maiden over 1900m on 24 Jul in a 12-runner 3Y MDN, beating General El Cid. Drops 5kg to 53kg and draws barrier 3 after winning from 4, with the same rider up and consistent good-track form (3:1-0-2). Well placed to hold form at this trip.

Comments

Drops 500m back to 1400m and carries just 51kg after a 12‑day turnaround, having been 7th of 8 over this trip at Ankara last start. Prior runs included a 3rd in a 3Y HCP over 2200m at Ankara and a 4th of 13 over 1400m, and he owns a (1900:1-0-0) record. Light weight and a softer draw in barrier 6 give him a chance to settle and finish off.
