Illtakehimmyself
Seven races into its career, Illtakehimmyself is still searching for that elusive first win. The five-year-old has placed twice from those seven outings but has never managed to get its nose in front, and the most recent six races have all ended without a victory. It raced just yesterday, so this is a horse very much in the thick of its season right now.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The recent form does tell an interesting story, though. Those finishing positions — 11th, 9th, 9th, 5th, 2nd, 2nd reading from oldest to newest — suggest a horse that has been gradually finding its feet. The two most recent runs both ended in second place, which is the closest thing to a positive trend available here. Whether that improvement continues into a first win remains to be seen, but there is at least a sense of momentum after a difficult middle patch in the season.
The horse is trained by E McNamara out of Rathkeale in County Limerick, and the yard is clearly operating well this season with 22 winners already on the board. That context matters — a trainer who knows how to win races and is doing so regularly gives Illtakehimmyself a reasonable platform. The question is simply whether the horse can convert those placings into something more.
