Follow Me¹²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Shane Foley| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 87| CD

8/1

Has gone backwards since Curragh wins last year, finishing last of 15 in handicap at this C&D (8/1) 128 days ago when racing well off the pace. Needs to recapture earlier form.

Form: 1000-60

I Am Superman^t²²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: Jamie Powell| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 82| D

9/1

Inconsistent but capable performer on both polytrack and turf. Finished eighth of 13 in handicap at Naas (13/2) 22 days ago, held up too far back and never involved despite staying on final furlong. Without a win in 18 races now. May need the all-weather surface to show best form again.

Form: 549968

Tina's Indian²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M Fahey| OR: 96| C

1/2

Has shown useful form with two third-place finishes in recent 7f handicaps. Finished third of 13 at Naas (9/2) 22 days ago, showing improved form under a positive ride, leading early before keeping on when headed over 1f out. Likely to give another good account in these conditions.

Form: 1-57833

Shamalza⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Chris Hayes| T: D K Weld| OR: 86

5/1

Once raced filly from a good family. Won maiden (11 runners) at Navan (11/8) 57 days ago, travelled well and quickened to lead over 1f out before just holding on. Bred to stay at least 1¼m and sure to progress.

Form: 1

Dagoda^b1¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Robbie Colgan| T: Miss Jennifer Anne Lynch| OR: 64| CD

33/1

Inconsistent form recently, finishing 15th of 26 at this C&D (11/1) 17 days ago when below form. First-time blinkers applied today.

Form: 60-5480

(4)

Senna's Girl¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Wayne Hassett⁽³⁾| T: D Dias| OR: 68

14/1

Second in April median auction, then finished 11th of 26 in handicap at this course and distance (20/1) 17 days ago, making headway when not getting clear run and finished with running left. Could show improvement here.

Form: 0-23800

Forecasts

Tina's Indian (1/2), Shamalza (5/1), Follow Me (8/1), I Am Superman (9/1), Senna's Girl (14/1), Dagoda (33/1)

TINA'S INDIAN is fancied to build on two promising third-place finishes in recent 7f handicaps, having shown improved form under a positive ride at Naas three weeks ago. The lightly-raced Shamalza looks open to significant improvement after making a winning debut at Navan and is feared most.
