Verdict
None of these have raced under Rules before but Nicky Henderson has won four of the seven renewals and runs winning pointer SHISHKIN. The latter is just preferred to Paul Nicholls’ representative Grey Getaway, a £190,000 purchase and second on his only start between the flags. Et Apres Thou is a half-brother to winning chasers while Kost A Coat is related to jumps winners in France and The Enchanter is a half-brother to the useful hurdler/chaser Aerial.
