12th Oct 2025 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 5lb |
One of four for trainer; some good runs in defeat in four maidens, including when beaten a head by Madbadanddangerous over C&D last month (yielding to soft); couldn't justify 5-6 favouritism at Thurles three days ago (1m, good to yielding) and McMonagle jumps off now. |

9th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 0f 44y |
9st 9lb |
Encouraging debut at Leopardstown before hitting the frame in 7f Galway maiden; headed late on when narrowly denied at Naas (7f, yielding to soft) in first-time tongue-tie (retained) three weeks ago; the third bolted up at Killarney on Monday; sets a good standard up in trip. |

9st 7lb |
Encouraging debut at Leopardstown when beaten roughly 6l before hitting the frame in a Galway maiden over this trip (beaten roughly 2l); form has a solid look to it and he's a big player if he takes to the first-time tongue-tie given that we know he'll handle conditions. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 110y |
8st 9lb |
Off the mark on hurdling debut at Limerick last month and followed up with a first Flat win at Galway (9.5f, yielding), showing a willing attitude to score by a neck; 4lb rise more than negated by rider's 7lb claim but has to prove stamina for this longer trip (bred to stay but well beaten both previous starts at 1m2f-1m4f). |

9st 4lb |
Placed in Dundalk AW maidens last winter, not so good there in May before successful hurdling debut in Limerick 3yo maiden early this month, despite taking keen hold and making most (good); didn't get home over 1m2f on sole Flat handicap effort (Navan) before that win so drop back in trip should suit. |

1st 5 |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y |

Beaten a length and then a head in a pair of 1m maidens at Dundalk in November; too keen in early stages on handicap debut at Navan over 1m2f in May; well beaten in a maiden back at Dundalk last time; holds the top Flat rating (80) in this field and is courtesy of those efforts; big player. |

Respectable effort when a 3.5l third of 15 on latest at Gowran (9.5f, gd-fm); has weakened late when tried over further so stamina to prove up in trip. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y |

Showed ability in a Galway maiden last year when with Mick Mulvany; well backed into joint-favouritism for return at Fairyhouse, but didn't feature; off the bridle 3f out when okay fifth here over 10.5f (soft); had a wide trip from a bad draw when fourth over 1m3f at Naas and reckon he's on a good mark now; not bred to stay, but might. |

Fair effort when a 3l sixth behind City Escape in a classified event at Ffos Las (1m2f, good) last week, but that took his record to 0-15 and he needs to find more to make a big impact back in a handicap. |

Elzaam gelding cost 4,000euros as a yearling; first foal; dam 6f AW 2yo winner (RPR 77), half-sister to winners Tivoli (6f 2yo/7f) and Miss Helen (7f); easy to back but very promising debut run in Leopardstown auction maiden over this trip last month, staying on well in chasing home a shock all-the-way winner; won't need to improve too much to go one better here. |

Sprang a 33-1 surprise in a Leopardstown maiden this time last year (7f, good) but hasn't built on that effort, most recently seasonal return at same venue early this month (hanging left late on); entitled to come on for that. |

Sprang a 33-1 surprise in a C&D maiden (good) last July; last of six in Tipperary listed race the following month; weakened on soft ground upped to 1m on handicap debut here when last seen in October; gelded, 4lb lower now and worth a market check on return. |

Promising debut at the Curragh despite odds of 66-1 but disappointed when favourite at Leopardstown second time out; ran with credit from the front in a Navan maiden claimer (1m, yielding) since but doesn't look particularly well treated now handicapping and has stall 15 to negotiate here. |

Promise in maidens last year and in first two runs this term at Leopardstown on soft; first-time blinkers did no harm at Galway on latest when fair fourth over extended 1m; return to 1m2f may suit but form seems to have plateaued and vulnerable. |

Rated 74; promise in maidens last year (including here over 7f on soft) and in first two runs this term at Leopardstown; no impact behind Gliondar in 1m Curragh maiden on good latest; could do better back on softer ground in first-time blinkers. |

Fairly useful, consistent level of form in five starts, notably when second in 7f maidens at Galway and most recently at Down Royal; in between not quite so effective when second to a ready winner here over 6f; needs to settle better than of late but should again be in the mix. |
