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. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y |
10st 0lb |
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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

15th Aug 2026 Yielding 1m 4f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Saxon Warrior filly has been disappointing since entering handicaps; fair fourth in a Killarney claimer last month; led before backpedalling in the straight at Galway; hasn't raced beyond an extended 1m; dam's half-brother won Group 3 over 1m5f. |

31st Jul 2026 Yielding 1m 0f 98y |

Some signs of ability in maidens at two; fourth in a claimer at Killarney on latest; needs to improve on this term's handicap form. |

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. |

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

27th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 84y |

Eight-race maiden; ran poorly when favourite for a maiden here 12 months ago; mixed signals from this year's form; second to Darius Dark at Cork in April, close fifth behind the same rival at the Curragh; no surprise if she is in the mix. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 17y |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

2nd Aug 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 0f 73y |
9st 6lb |
Debut 6f maiden win at Sligo last August sole success from seven starts, although recent Navan third (1m2f) under a positive ride was more encouraging; visor now replaces cheekpieces and drops in trip; could go well if handling softer ground. |
