Rowdy Yeats¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Colin Keane| T: N Meade| OR: 89| CD

7/2

C&D winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Career best when winning 7-runner minor event (10/1) at the Curragh (7f, soft) 14 days ago, always holding on. This looks his best trip.

Form: 2-12301

Age: 9| Weight: 9-3| J: Jamie Powell| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 84| CD

13/2

C&D winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2024. Shaped a bit better when sixth of 14 in handicap at Cork (8f, good to soft, 8/1) 11 days ago. Has good chance from this reduced mark.

Bishopton¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Wayne Hassett⁽³⁾| T: N Lupini| OR: 84| D

6/1

5/2, improved on recent efforts to win 13-runner handicap at Down Royal (7.1f, good to soft) 12 days ago, well positioned. 13 lb rise for that easy win demands more but he's clearly in excllent heart.

11/1

Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.5f, good, 13/2) 61 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Thomas Mullins. Has fallen to a workable mark so market can guide.

Forecasts

Rowdy Yeats (7/2), Tina's Indian (9/2), Bishopton (6/1), I Am Superman (13/2), Genuine Article (8/1), Serengeti (9/1), Midnight Strike (10/1), San Aer (11/1), Chicago Fireball (14/1), On A Session (14/1), Facethepuckout (22/1), Musical Act (50/1), Brewing (66/1)

I AM SUPERMAN hinted at a revival at Cork 11 days ago and if that proves to be the case, he has a very handy mark to exploit these days. Genuine Article and Bishopton are a couple of potential threats.
