Returns after a 76-day break following his third-place finish in the Peterborough Chase at Huntingdon in December which followed another third in the classic Grade One Clarence House Chase at Ascot last January which saw Shishkin edge Energumene in a thrilling contest.
He’s a reliable sort who has won Grade One chases, including the Clarence House Chase in 2021.
He’s been lightly run over the last year and is a course winner, so can’t be dismissed, especially at his price in the market.
