Tintern Abbey has placed between the flags and won a bumper so should make a hurdler, though 2m around here may be sharp enough. POETIC MUSIC (NAP) suffered her first defeat in the Champion Bumper in March but was far from disgraced in that traditionally-hot contest which always produces multiple hurdle winners. She can make a winning reappearance here ahead of Warwick runner-up Dollar Bae and Dancingontheedge, who is almost certainly better than she showed at Chepstow.
