Bay out to fulfil potential

Fingal Bay, who remains the only horse to have beaten Simonsig under Rules, is out to finally fulfil his potential in the Hennessy Gold Cup at Newbury this afternoon.

Philip Hobbs’ charge looked like being a star novice chaser but dramatically ran out at Exeter in December 2012.

When he returned last season it was over hurdles, culminating in Pertemps Final success at the Cheltenham Festival.
