With winter conditions finally taking effect on the jumps season, Sky Sports Racing's cameras head to Ffos Las on Wednesday.

12.15 Ffos Las - Buckna takes on Admiral Stewart on hurdles debut

Warren Greatrex's Buckna went under the hammer for £350,000 after winning an Irish point-to-point in March and makes an eagerly-anticipated debut under rules in the opener at Ffos Las, the Dandara Golwg Gwendraeth Maiden Hurdle (12.15).

That previous success, lofty price tag and in-form yard - three winners from the last 10 runners - should see Buckna well supported.

Admiral Stewart was strongly fancied on his bumper debut for Jamie Snowden at Hexham last month when finishing a nine-length second and it would be no great surprise to see him step up on that effort.

It has been 375 days since Walk On High was last seen on a racecourse but he now has a first-time hood applied and has had a breathing operation so he could be the each-way angle in this if fully wound up.

1.25 Ffos Las - Blue Las on a hat-trick for Mulholland

In the other maiden hurdle on the card, the Diplomat Hotel And Spa Maiden Hurdle (1.25), Neil Mulholland's Blue Las returns on a hat-trick after winning a pair of bumpers at Southwell and Uttoxeter in April.

The daughter of Blue Bresil starts over two-and-a-half miles with star claimer Dylan Johnston in the saddle.
