      Verdict

      I AM SUPERMAN comfortably has the call on official figures having raced at a much higher level, including the Irish 2000 Guineas, since easily landing a course and distance handicap in April. Some rain wouldn't go amiss though his overall form sets him apart. Bowerman won three all-weather races for Roger Charlton and looks a very good addition to the yard of Ado McGuinness while Western Frontier has also raced in top company this season having ended his first campaign with a victory in a Navan maiden. Dragons Call made all for an impressive victory at Limerick though has a mountain to climb on official figures.
