Shishkin (5/6), Energumene (5/4), First Flow (16/1), Amoola Gold (80/1)

Verdict

Nicky Henderson's SHISHKIN faces his stiffest test yet over fences but is fancied to follow in the hoofprints of the stable's fomer winners of this Grade 1 Altior and Sprinter Sacre and confirm himself the premier 2m chaser. Irish-challenger Energumene also arrives unbeaten in this sphere and should ensure this is a race to savour, with last year's victor First Flow no forlorn hope either.
