Racing Post verdict
Third-partyCaislean Gear shaped with clear promise on his sole outing, pulling well clear of the remainder in second behind a useful rival at Roscommon; rated highest here and looks the type to progress from that debut run. Bacharach is closely matched on our figures after a solid runner-up effort and comes in fresh, while The President and Time For Talking add quality from their debut placings. This is a competitive bumper with limited form lines, but Caislean Gear is our selection.
