I AM SUPERMAN attracted support on his debut in a huge field at the Curragh and beat all bar Breaking Story. Normal progress will see him in the firing line and he can see off a trio of Ballydoyle entries. Blenheim Palace hasn't shown much but Eminence is expected to improve from a fair run at Leopardstown. However, Norway is likely to prove the pick having run well when third behind stable companion Sydney Opera House at the Curragh. The Sea The Stars colt Rakan and Jim Bolger's Solar Wind, a half-brother to the stable's dual winner Solar Wave, may prove the pick of the remainder.
