Kim goes one better at Aintree

Champion Hurdle runner-up Khyber Kim gained ample compensation for last month's Cheltenham defeat when he won the John Smith's Dick Francis Aintree Hurdle.

Paddy Brennan gave the 7-2 chance a quiet ride as Quwetwo set a steady pace, but the complexion of the race changed entering the straight as the leader fell away.

Celestial Halo, second in the Champion Hurdle two years ago, took up the running but crashed out at the third last allowing Khyber Kim to take it up.
