Gibbes Bay (13/8), Le Dauphin (3/1), Kardinero (9/2), Milzipa (11/2), Finula (7/1), Windspiel (50/1), Western Storm (100/1), Speedy Runaway (100/1)

GIBBES BAY has taken on some classy horses in his career so far, most notably when finishing behind a subsequent Grade 1 winner on his hurdling debut at Hereford in December. The selection ran well at Ascot last time out and can get the better of the penalised Finula who was successful in a maiden hurdle back in November with the Nicky Henderson pair Le Dauphin and Millzipa likely to prove best of the rest.
