Buck's faces five in Long Distance Hurdle Star stayer Big Buck's will face five rivals as he bids to extend his tremendous winning streak in the Sportingbet Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury on Saturday. The three-time World Hurdle hero has been successful on his last 12 racecourse appearances and has made a winning seasonal return in this Grade Two contest for the last two years. Trainer Paul Nicholls said: "He's in great shape and we are looking forward to him running. "He had a gallop with Kauto (Star) at Exeter recently, he went nicely and is in good form. "He's won three (World Hurdles) and it will be wonderful to try and win four."
