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. |

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. |

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. |

Gained a second career win when beating Zenford by a short head at the Curragh (7f, good) on penultimate; soundly beaten off 5lb higher mark back there on latest; may be on a tough mark for now. |

Gained second career win on latest over C&D (good) and the runner up Zenford has won since; 5lb rise for that short-head success seems fair and his C&D form figures now read 311; should be in the mix again. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
5/1 |

1st 5 (5) |
14th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Only had six races and was sent off favourite for the latest at Haydock (1m, good to soft) where he pulled too hard in a reapplied hood (now removed); didn't run too badly all things considered and there's a race in him off this mark. |
5/1 |

5th 7 (8) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
0-5 and yet to pose a serious threat but he ran fairly well from the front when fifth of 13 in a handicap at the Curragh (1m, soft) last month; he's travelled from Ireland to race today and could be in the shake-up. |

Was progressive in maidens last year without winning; has been regressive in handicaps this term; the blinkers worn last time retained; needs more. |

Yet to reach the first three; needs to find considerable improvement in first time blinkers; Kc Bear is the more appealing of the trainer's two. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
8st 8lb |
3yo was narrowly denied by Darius Dark at Cork (1m4f, good) in April and is weighted to reverse that form; weakened when upped to 2m1f at Limerick (yielding) on latest; drop in trip and return to quicker ground both positives; big player. |

10th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
8st 12lb |
Best run yet on latest when upped to 1m4f in Cork handicap in April, coming from good bit back after tardy start when second to an improver (won again next time); half-brother to Irish Cesarewitch winner Puturhandstogether could well improve again now upped further in distance. |

24th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 4f 25y |

Promise in maidens and again on handicap debut at Leopardstown (1m) in October; comeback run here early this month over same trip was disappointing but half-brother to Irish Cesarewitch winner Puturhandstogether a potential improver now upped markedly in distance. |

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. |

7th 7 (7) |
4th Apr 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y |

Modest efforts in 1m maidens last year; gelded and returned with a midfield finish on handicap bow at Naas in the Madrid (7f, soft) from 4lb out of the handicap; shaped as though that was needed and this is less demanding; interesting. |

Narrowly denied on nursery debut at the Curragh last September (7f, yld-sft); again ran well when a close-up fourth at Dundalk in October; flopped on heavy ground on reappearance; struggled again on good ground at Roscommon; questions to answer. |

Beaten a neck by Invincible Will on handicap debut at the Curragh (7f, yld-sft) in September and 3lb better off with that rival here; raised 4lb and finished a 1l fourth of 13 on final run of 2025 at Dundalk (7f); yard in flying form and dangerous to discount. |

Debut 6f maiden win at Sligo last August remains this 3yo's sole success; soundly beaten all three starts this season at 6.5f-1m on varying ground; hopes pinned on this longer trip sparking something (dam won at 1m2f-1m6f). |

4th Apr 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y |

Won on debut at Sligo (6f, gd-yld) but no joy in three starts since, the last twice in handicaps; another modest effort on seasonal return; may have needed that but needs more off 2lb lower. |
