Formscan  - SHISHKIN had no problem handling the step up to 3m1f when taking the Aintree Bowl on his most recent outing and that followed his second in the Ryanair at Cheltenham. The nine-year-old readily accounted for his main rival Pic D'Orhy when winning the Ascot Chase over C&D in February and it is hard to see that form being reversed here. Minella Drama and Straw Fan Jack both have plenty to find with the aforementioned pair but the former is the pick of the duo.
