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.
