2/1

Useful gelding. Off 3 years, 80/1, tenth of 16 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, heavy) 19 days ago, making late gains without being subjected to a hard ride. Interesting on best form on these terms if building on that comeback.

I Am Superman^t¹⁵³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Colin Keane| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 104| D

2/1

Well-backed 7/2, won 9-runner handicap at Dundalk (8f) under this rider 153 days ago. Showed smart form on turf in Australia in 2022 and that win suggests that ability is intact. Strong claims on these terms.

Form: 490001-

2/1

14/1

Fairly useful mare. Off 20 months, well-beaten eighth of 10 to Brilliant in Park Express Stakes (33/1) at the Curragh (8f, heavy) 52 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Forecasts

I Am Superman (2/1), Fiscal Rules (2/1), Laugh A Minute (2/1), Quar Shamar (10/3), Lady Of Inishfree (14/1)

I AM SUPERMAN won well at Dundalk when last seen in December and has a good chance on these terms if in the same sort of form. Quar Shamar might be the danger.
