The record that Nicky Henderson has in this race (won four of last nine renewals including the last two) immediately draws you towards SHISHKIN who on what we have seen so far looks a top-class prospect and he’s taken to win this on his hurdling debut. Plenty of others are of interest though including another one who took his only bumper in good style Enemy Coast Ahead. Garbanzo now back with Dr Richard Newland will need to tidy his hurdling up but he also looks one with a future. Of those fresh out of the box from the Flat Al Kout and Dagueneau make some appeal based on their form on the level while Iconic Muddle, Uther Pendragon and Pens Man all look handicap prospects over hurdles.
