18/1
Useful hurdler and has quickly made into an even better chaser, winning at Ayr and finishing a good second on his last 2 starts, including when rallying at Carlisle just under 3 weeks ago.

14/1
Has taken really well to chasing, notching a fourth win from just 6 starts when making all in 3-runner handicap chase at Ascot (16.8f) 13 days ago. Could give Shishkin most to think about.

16/1
Smart hurdler who quickly reached a similar level over fences in autumn, set to land a Cheltenham Grade 2 when falling 2 out. Not so good at Kempton over Christmas and ran poorly back hurdling since.

28/1
Terrific strike rate, winning 10 of his 15 starts overall. Lost his unbeaten record over fences at Chepstow back in October and probably needed run when pulled up at Sandown last month. More needed.

1/8
Won the Supreme last year and has quickly made up into Timeform's highest-rated novice chaser, easily winning all 4 starts this term, including Arkle at Cheltenham last month. Impossible to oppose.

Forecasts

Shishkin (1/8), Funambule Sivola (14/1), Gumball (16/1), Elvis Mail (18/1), Longhouse Sale (28/1)

Verdict

This Grade 1 should prove little more than a formality for the outstanding SHISHKIN, who sauntered clear in the Sporting Life Arkle at The Cheltenham Festival last month, and Timeform's highest-rated novice chaser will face bigger challenges ahead next season. Venetia Williams' Funambule Sivola narrowly shades the forecast spot ahead of Gumball.

  1. SHISHKIN (IRE)
  2. FUNAMBULE SIVOLA (FR)
  3. GUMBALL (FR)
