In depth
Verdict
More Buck's beat a subsequent winner over hurdles here in May and should be even better over fences. But it was difficult not be impressed by GONE TOO FAR at Uttoxeter last month and Alan King's charge can put his experience to good use by conceding weight all round. My Legal Lady only made her chasing bow here last month and was no match for More Buck's stablemate Dormello Mo but Lemony Bay has plenty of scope and will have learned plenty from his fourth at Huntingdon.
