Verdict

CAPTAIN BUCK'S will undoubtedly benefit from a switch to hurdles but only had to be pushed out by Stan Sheppard to beat Misterton over course and distance on his UK debut with Admiral's Secret only fourth and the four-year-old may be capable of giving the weight away to Newbury third Only For Love. Show On The Road was returning from a lengthy absence when fifth at Kempton and wears headgear here - he looks the pick of the remainder.
