Formscan By Alan Magee - Nicky Henderson has trained champion two-milers Sprinter Sacre and Altior over the past decade and has another star on his hands in SHISHKIN The Sholokhov gelding won the Supreme and the Arkle at the past two Festivals and has answered any questions in two wins this season. He overcame an uncharacteristic mistake to beat Energumene at Ascot last time and can confirm the places at a track that suits him even better. Chacun Pour Soi has carried all before him in Ireland but has failed to match that form in two travels to England including when third to Put The Kettle On and Nube Negra in this race 12 months ago. Willie Mullins has changed the routine in an effort to leave him fresher for this acid test. Envoi Allen held an aura of invincibility when unbeaten in 11 starts and sent off 4/9 favourite for the Marsh Novices Chase last year. However, he’s struggled to recapture that sparkle since a fall 12 months ago and has had a wind operation since winning at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting.
