More Buck's is eased in grade again but recent efforts have been less than encouragement. Coby Nine could only finish fifth when favourite at Wincanton and has seven lengths to find with Hold Me Tight, though Polly Gundry’s six-year-old is still seeking a first win after 35 attempts. Triple Chief tends to do best at Exeter and, like Minella Voucher, may need this. KILPIN (NAP) was an eye-catcher at Kingfield, staying on well in the closing stages having been hampered early in the straight. That was only his fifth career start and he already looks like making a better chaser than hurdler.
