Formscan - Having filled the frame on all four outings over hurdles this season, BUCKNA might be rewarded for his consistency. The five-year-old arrives on the back of a solid third over 2m at Southwell and today's extra half mile holds no fear. The biggest threat may emerge from the returning Deep Purple, who should have learned plenty from his third-placed timber debut at Ludlow behind subsequent Grade 1-placed Wendigo. Devon Dude also has the ability to go close.
