FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Gee Rex is first reserve and he could be a big factor if getting a run. Naas on Monday being a starting point for the Requinto gelding with the Joseph O’Brien team, and happenings there could have a major bearing on what might transpire here. There are some very interesting contenders including Ger Lyons first-timer Mohtarrif. Also starting off for new handlers are Acolyte, Army Recruit, Bardo Contiguo and Mater Matuta. However it’s a horse having their second outing for a new trainer, WUFUD, that gets the nod from this corner. Michael Halford said of him recently: “He came to us from England and he has a wonderful pedigree. He didn’t appear to enjoy the surface in Dundalk, but I am looking forward to getting him started on the turf and he looks up to winning off his mark.”
