So easy for Distance runner Buck's

Big Buck’s equalled a record set by Bula as he stretched his unbeaten run to 13 in landing the Sportingbet Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury for the third successive year.

Sent off the 1-8 favourite, the Paul Nicholls-trained Big Buck’s travelled smoothly for Ruby Walsh, maintaining a watching brief early on before moving to the front with a circuit to go.
