4th Apr 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Bellewstown maiden winner (1m, good); not disgraced in Listed heat at Tipperary (7.5f, good); stayed on after being outpaced on handicap debut at Leopardstown (1m, yld-sft) in October; 3lb lower now and yard had first time out winner on Wednesday. |

9st 7lb |
Elzaam gelding built on promising debut when winning over this trip at Bellewstown (good); didn't land a blow in Tipperary Listed following month but not discredited when beaten 5l: drops in class and rider's claim a positive. |

8th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 100y |
9st 5lb |
Elzaam gelding built on his promising debut run at Down Royal (7f, good) when winning at Bellewstown (1m, good); clearly has a decent level of ability but this is much harder; needs to improve further. |

26th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 3lb |
C&D handicap winner in May; not beaten far in handicaps at Leopardstown in July and Doncaster 13 days ago; capable of holding his own in this company. |
5/1 |

5th 6 (5) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
A bit in and out but he won at the Curragh in May and showed his best form when second at Leopardstown (again 7f on good) in early July on latest outing; left with too much to do in the latter after a slow start, so might still do better. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
11-8 favourite in cheekpieces when he won a maiden at Gowran Park (1m, soft) and conditions event at Naas (10.4f, good; unraced on firmer) on his last two starts; made all and put 4.5l between himself and his rivals over the last 2f on the latest outing; revised mark could still be favourable, including as he's not fully exposed at this trip. |

1st 4 (4) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 84y |
9st 4lb |
Consistent in defeat over 7f/1m before narrowly getting the better of a debuting stablemate over 1m at Gowran, finding plenty off the bridle for McDonogh who said post-race that the gelding might like 10 furlongs. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Irish challenger who goes from the front and has been in excellent form back home, last time a game winner at Gowran Park (1m, good; fine on faster); expect a positive ride back over 7f. |
7/2 |
|
1st 8 (2) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Never saw another rival when making all at Cork (1m, good) to win by 3l; raised 10lb for that but almost repeated the dose at York two weeks ago when headed late on into second (1m, good to firm); raised another 4lb now, but he's thriving and is firmly in the mix. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 6 (4) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Pulled too hard under restraint when a beaten favourite at Haydock (1m, good to soft) in May and a return to front running worked a treat at Cork (1m, good) since, making all by over 3l; the handicapper hasn't missed him but this course often suits similar tactics and David Marnane had a winner here last month. |

21st Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Ten-race maiden; second in a rated race before coming from well off the pace to be third at Navan (1m6f) despite reportedly slipping on the back straight; turn looks near. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 6 (9) |
27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Maiden produced her best run to date when staying on for a neck second in a 1m4f (gd-yld) rated race at Tramore and had a few of these behind; step up in trip here could suit now back in handicap company and Keane booked; not discounted. |

28th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 194y |
9st 2lb |
Maiden on the Flat but has threatened, as was also the case on his second run over hurdles when pushing the favourite close here a month ago (first run in a tongue-tie; cheekpieces now added); considered. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 87y |
10st 12lb |
Maiden on the Flat but rated 75 and has ability; sent off at 9-2 for hurdling debut at Ballinrobe but finished well beaten behind Nicky Larson; new tongue tie needs to have a dramatic effect. |
15/2 |

Fair 75-rated maiden on the Flat; interesting juvenile hurdle prospect on pedigree, being a half-brother to useful jumpers Puturhandstogether and Showurappreciation. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 17y |
9st 1lb |
Left previous modest form behind to land a C&D handicap on yielding ground in May; the step up in trip was offered as the reason for the improvement in form; something amiss here in June when eased after hanging repeatedly. |
10/1 |
|
10th 2 (10) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 63y |
9st 10lb |
Left previous modest form behind to land a 1m4f (yielding) handicap here on latest start in May; the step up in trip was offered as the reason for the improvement in form, so the drop back in distance here may not be ideal; raised 6lb and quicker ground a worry too in this deeper race. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 17y |

Ran respectably in Madrid Handicap over 7f on return, weakened over 1m next time but perhaps that came too soon; up in trip and down in grade now, and gets back onto better ground. |

19th Sep 2026 Yielding 1m 1f 100y |

Second runner for yard; showed improved form to comfortably win a Cork handicap over 1m last time; got a 9lb hike for that and is up in trip but can go well if staying. |

1st 5 (6) |
30th Aug 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |

Threatened in nurseries last season but not so good this campaign, though hasn't been helped by wide draws the last twice; handicapper relenting so don't wholly rule out. |

First reserve; good effort at the Galway festival; poor run back there last time; change of headgear. |

11th 1 (2) |
8th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 98y |
10st 3lb |
Hasn't added to his 6f Sligo maiden win on debut last year but several solid efforts in defeat; the best of those came in a first-time visor over C&D last time; up 1lb but has a good draw and should be a player. |
