Verdict

INISHTEARAGHT is a half-brother to useful hurdler/chaser Golden Taipan, who won up to 3m, and hails from a family with further black type. The €22,000 purchase makes plenty of appeal on debut and can make a winning start. Caislean Gear has experience on his side so could be the biggest threat.
