FormscanBy Alan Magee - GEE REX won four times on the Flat for Joseph O’Brien before being claimed by current connections after scoring at Dundalk. He’s since been switched to hurdles and came home well on the latest of two starts when beating all bar Get My Drift in a 19-runner maiden here over Christmas and this drying ground will suit. Grand Bornand is a serious threat. He won a three-year-old bumper in France and has shown promise on both hurdle outings for Willie Mullins. The grey son of Montmartre will have benefitted from that experience and, if brushing up his jumping, looks sure to go close. Buddy Rich has obviously been difficult to train but has caught the eye both in bumpers and maiden hurdles and hails from a yard in good form of late.
