2.30 Newbury
Sportingbet.com Long Distance Hurdle (Grade 2) (Class 1) (4YO plus)
Winner £28,505 - 6 run
Big Bucks: Again sealed his title as undisputed staying hurdler in UK and Ireland with comprehensive win in the Liverpool Hurdle after bolting up in the Long Walk and World Hurdle; Hard to seriously oppose here.
Arcalis: Hasn’t won since 2007 and is unproven at more than 2m4f; Has run well in handicaps the last thrice but passed over.
Duc De Regniere :Posted very taking success in this 2 years and has since run some very solid races finding a good 2 lengths third to Big Bucks off 8lbs worse terms; Since made hay over fences, (winning twice); Disappointing return but should be fit and much the second best of these.
Duke Of Lucca: Got better with experience last season ,ending up with close enough seconds behind Peddlers Cross and Reve De Sivola at Aintree and Punchestown festivals; Ran poorly on reappearance but has form to make impression this year, although what trip is an unknown.
Kayf Aramis: Has been put into Graded company since winning the Pertemps Final in 2009, and has performed admirably, never disgracing himself in process;Ran solid race when second bhidn Fair Along and can do well again.
Spider Boy: Out of depth here and rated 80.
VERDICT: It’s very hard to seriously oppose BIG BUCK’S on his seasonal return, as he sets off to make history and win a third World Hurdle this season. Duc De Reginere is the one for the forecast in my mind, although Duke Of Lucca and Kayf Aramis will run good races.
