Comments

Returns from a 1600m Istanbul 3UP HCP where he was 5th of 8 from barrier 1 with 57.5kg, and now faces a significant distance rise of 800m. Has a win at Ankara and draws barrier 6 after coming from the inside last time. Mixed recent results but the track record and set-up shift give him some hope if he stays the trip.

Progressive at 2200m at Ankara, following a 2nd in a 3Y HCP then winning a 3Y CLM under Mehmet Akyavuz. Draws barrier 1 and sticks with the same rider, with a positive CurrentJockey record (3:1-1-0) and solid track stats (7:1-1-0). Well set up to hold that staying form back to roughly this trip.

Comments

Backs up on a 3-day turnaround and draws barrier 2 after a 6th of 7 over 1500m at Ankara in 3UP HCP. Earlier in the prep he won at Ankara over 1900m on GOOD, and reunites with N. Demir who has a 1-from-2 record on him. Quick backup and favourable draw could help him hold a forward spot and improve.

Comments

Back on a short 5‑day turnaround and drops back 500m after finishing 8th over 1900m at Ankara in a 3UP HCP F&M. Earlier this prep he was competitive staying on for 4th over 2200m and 2100m, and now draws barrier 5 where his barrier record (4–6: 18 starts, 2 wins, 2 thirds) is serviceable. With 59kg carried last start and a new rider up, a midfield showing seems within reach.

Fourth-up and draws barrier 3, with solid recent Ankara efforts at 1900m including 4th of 10 on 6 Jun and 5th of 8 on 2 Jul. Suited by the inside draw given a barrier record of (3:0-1-0), and returns to a trip where he was 2nd of 6 at Ankara on 6 Nov 2025 under 58kg. With a 500m distance rise and 52kg last two runs, he profiles as a steady each-way type.

Steps up 600m in trip after finishing 7th of 10 over 1800m at Kocaeli 12 days ago, and draws barrier 4 after wider alleys in two of his last three runs. Best recent effort was 5th of 11 over 1900m at Ankara, suggesting the rise in distance could suit. With an improved gate and a staying test, a better showing is within reach.
