Not Now Zeb rattled home from last to swoop in the five furlong premier handicap at the Curragh.

The Zebedee colt was switched to the inside after halfway by Shane Foley and was ridden a furlong and a half out.

He had a clear view in front of him and found another gear in moving into seventh at the furlong marker.

The 18/1 shot put in a power-packed final furlong to mow down Elzaamone in the closing stages and win going away by three parts of a length.

Elzaamone had given it a proper go from the front but was foiled and had to settle for second at 14/1. Big Gossey 4/1jf, was another half a length away in third.

Winning trainer Tom Mullins said: "Some people thought he was lucky in Navan. The kid (Joey Sheridan) rode him well in Navan, took his time and came late.

“He's a nice horse. Since Navan they were telling me in the yard that he was improving every day, I was hopeful rather than confident.

“He only got 5lb for Navan, he couldn't really give him much more.

“He got a great ride today from a man that is riding like a man possessed. He knows where the lollipop is!

“We'll see if we can get another handicap for him. He needs six and I'd say that's his ground, the slow side of good.”

Not Now Zeb was following up on a Navan success over an extended five earlier in the month.
