Tales Of The Tweed (3/1), Gibbes Bay (4/1), Burrows Park (9/2), Toviere (13/2), Clondaw Cracker (8/1), Take To Heart (10/1), Legal Ok (16/1), Jennifer Eccles (20/1), Three Star General (22/1), Springtown Lake (33/1), Benefit Of Luck (66/1)

This better ground may just be what GIBBES BAY needs to show his best, and he looked like one to follow when winning an Ayr bumper last year. He can take this at the expense of Tales Of The Tweed , another with improvement to come and maybe Clondaw Cracker might appreciate having had a break as he can burst blood vessels. The likely better ground can help in that regard too.
