9st 10lb |
Shed his maiden tag at the fourth attempt at Roscommon on latest (1m4f, soft); previously placed on good ground at the Curragh so conditions here should be fine; makes his handicap debut off a mark of 84 and he has an obvious chance upped in trip. |

2nd Sep 2024 Soft To Heavy 1m 4f 17y |
9st 8lb |
Second runner for yard; decent efforts all three maiden starts on good ground; beaten 1.5l first try at this trip at the Curragh in July; untried on testing ground but his half-brother won on heavy so he may well handle it; leading claims if he does act on the ground. |

23rd Sep 2024 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 0y |

Mildly progressive in three runs in maidens; behind Saol Gaelach at Roscommon last time and needs to find a bit to turn those tables, but could get closer. |

3rd 7 (9) |
2nd Sep 2024 Soft To Heavy 1m 4f 17y |
9st 8lb |
One of two runners for yard; expensive purchase in good hands and well-bred but hasn't shown much in two starts so far; beaten 11l over 1m2f at the Curragh and 9.25l over 1m at Dundalk in July; new trip and ground here but not a lot of stamina in his pedigree; cheekpieces discarded; hard to fancy. |

Expensive yearling is half-brother to Listed winner who landed a maiden here; 9s for decent 1m2f Curragh maiden, showed ability in mid-division; headgear combo for AW debut and could well feature. |

Off the mark at the eighth attempt in a C&D maiden last week (Ozark Daze behind); much worse off at the weights with that rival back in handicap company; should go well again at a track he likes but may struggle to uphold form with Ozark Daze. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 201y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Made up a lot of ground when second in handicap at Cheltenham (3m1f, good) in October; disappointingly no show in a top 3m handicap at Leopardstown at Christmas but he took another valuable prize there (soft) five weeks ago; has a revised mark and that breakthrough win was over an extended 2m5f but the Cheltenham display augurs well, as do his connections. |

1st Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 107y |

Maiden over hurdles and fences but a fine chase run to be second at Cheltenham two starts back; never involved in the Paddy Power Chase last time, but can do better; 1lb out of the handicap. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Not unrealistically treated on the best of his hurdle form but yet to get anything going over fences (0-4) and never threatened to land any sort of blow from off the pace on his handicap chase debut at Listowel (3m; 10-1); however, that was after a lengthy break and his ultra-canny connections have secured the services of Sean Bowen; dangerous to dismiss. |

Disappointed on a filthy day at Hexham last time but probably best judged on eariler efforts on a sound surface; will need to raise game if he's to win this, though. |

Launched handicap hurdle career with two wins this spring, the first over C&D on good ground; slightly disappointing when well-held third at Perth (3m, good) three months ago but further progress remains possible. |

Launched handicap hurdle career with two wins this spring, the latter over C&D on good ground, and also ran well when clear third at Hexham (2m7f, good) 11 days ago; back in action just before latest 2lb rise takes effect and makes significant appeal. |

Third foal; sister to winners St Cianans Fire (1m1f turf/10.6f AW; RPR 75) and Maura's Gift (1m4f AW; 71); dam 1m4f Flat (inc AW; 69) and 2m hurdle winner, sister to 7f-8.4f winner Strictly Glitz; Elzaam filly doesn't make much appeal on paper and best watched on debut. |
