Verdict
Geomar looks the best of a modest bunch and has shown enough to suggest that he's going to be capable of taking this contest. He jumped well at Bangor on his return after a long absence and only lack of a run caused him to weaken in the closing stages. Stylino and La Landiere may fight it out for the minor honour.
