Formscan - POETS WHISPER impressed with a winning debut in a Kelso bumper in April and should be well schooled ahead of this introduction to hurdles. The well-bred five-year-old appears the pick of Nicky Richards' two entrants and this may provide a winning platform for the next stage of his development. Dan Skelton has a good record in this race and his returning Teeshan is a must for the shortlist, despite not being seen since the 2024 Champion Bumper at Cheltenham. Old Colony and the nicely-bred Blue Sweeper are others to keep an eye on.
