GEE REX was having his first start for Joseph O'Brien when attracting major support here earlier this month. He couldn't go the early pace over that 6f but stayed on and today's extra can see losses recouped. An inside berth is usually favoured and he's come up trumps, unlike Miracles In May who was in winning form at Dundalk over the winter. Tony The Gent landed the odds in a Dundalk claimer in March and the seven-times winner generally goes well at this sort of level while Arletta Star won a couple of Class 4 handicaps for Tim Easterby last summer and has joined Michael Halford. Salt Whistle Bay won four times in the UK and will be ready for this after two runs for Jonny Levins, who has booked Colin Keane.
