Longer trip to suit Tiger Trek

Dessie Hughes’ Tiger Trek is the nap choice in the John J Galvin Maiden Hurdle at Listowel this afternoon.

The selection performed with a degree of promise at Leopardstown last Christmas, eighth behind the smart Western Boy, and then wasn’t seen again until reappearing at Kilbeggan two weeks ago.

That wasn’t the best of races, Tiger Trek was relatively easy to back and beaten into second by a 66-1 newcomer, Denis Hogan’s Mysticaltou.
