MORE BUCK'S has a lengthy absence to overcome but that's not normally a problem for one from his yard. Still only six, he ran well for along way on his chasing bow at Newton Abbot in July of last year and is sure to have had plenty of schooling ahead of his return. Play The Ace and Agincourt Reef are the other two with chasing experience but that pair probably lack a bit of scope. Tanit River is certainly worth a second look, however, having won three times over timber, though his half-sister Abigail Lynch didn't take to chasing. Yes Daddy is Flat-bred, so possibly best watched here.
