Back to Leopardstown again and Gee Rex can get punters off to a flyer by taking the opener, the first division of the TRI Equestrian Maiden Hurdle.

A winner of two of his 23 starts on the level, he made a promising start over hurdles when seventh behind Magic Tricks and followed up with a big effort to finish runner-up to the promising Get My Drift over today’s course and distance.
