There are several lightly raced sorts here so there is every chance we could see an improver in the field and CAPTAIN BUCK'S appeals as just that type. He has won twice already in a brief hurdles career and we have seen Paul Nicholls horses improve for longer distances on plenty of occasions before. Beneagles is another five-year old who could improve further this season for Alan King and Terry The Fish has to enter calculations too given his rapid rise through the ranks.
