I Am Superman tackles Cambridgeshire challenge Trainer Michael O’Callaghan is hoping his I Am Superman can compete in today’s €100,000 Paddy Power Supporting Cancer Trials Ireland Irish Cambridgeshire, with softening ground unlikely to inconvenience the veteran. Having begun his career for O’Callaghan in 2018, the high-class son of Footstepsinthesand enjoyed a fine spell in Australia from 2020 until 2023, where he landed two Group 2 contests. More recently, the nine-year-old’s rating has fallen to a current mark of 90 and, recently, has finished fifth and fourth respectively in two valuable handicaps. O'Callaghan says "soft ground won't inconvenience him as he was second in a Group 1 on heavy ground in Australia. "I think as he gets older too, he is appreciating a bit more kindness in the ground. It won't be heavy, heavy - it will be slow ground. I think he just likes a bit of kindness in his old legs. "He ran nicely the last day and kind of caught the eye a little bit. He had a paddock accident at home and missed Galway and for that he probably missed a little bit of work, but he is as straight as we can get him and hopefully he runs well. "After that, then he will go to Leopardstown (for Champions Weekend)." Quotes from Michael Graham
