Verdict

High-class hurdler SHISHKIN is impossible to oppose making his chasing debut having won the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle at Cheltenham when last in action in March. A clear round should see Nicky Henderson’s charge off the mark over fences. Paul Nicholls sent out last year’s winner and Mick Pastor was still in contention when falling at the last at Fakenham on last month’s chasing bow. The four-year-old is weighted to beat Sangha River with both At Its Own Expense and Battle Anthem looking up against it.
