Forecasts

Shishkin (4/9), Greaneteen (3/1), Before Midnight (12/1), Sky Pirate (20/1)

Nicky Henderson's last two winners of this Grade 2 have been Altior and Sprinter Sacre no less and he looks to have another mighty 2m chaser on his hands in SHISKIN who dazzled when going unbeaten in five runs last term and is confidently expected to return in style here. Tingle Creek hero Greaneteen appeals as the one to chase him home ahead of Sky Pirate in what promises to be a thrilling race.
