Shishkin will be off the bridle at half way like he was in the Supreme, he lacks tactical speed for 2 miles, King George/Gold Cup horse imo.

The Arkle will be a small culture shock for Shishkin after his egg and spoon "in youre own time" preparation, often carnage in behind as well in that race.

There will certainly be plenty of pace on as I assume Allmankind will go off like a scalded cat. Should be a great renewal this year.
 
Fantastic from Native River..signs the Tizzard yard are running in to form. I wouldn't be surprised if they hit a purple patch over next few weeks..
 
I could be wrong, but was Native River favourite for that race last weekend, I think I saw the betting and he was fave...
 
Can Sharjah reproduce his Christmas run? A horse who has struggled to put 2 goof runs together but if at his best he can give the mare plenty to think about. Hopefully Honeysuckle can win and then on to the Champion Hurdle.
 
Great performance by Honeysuckle, very weak bunch of 2 milers against her though. Saldier ran an absolute stinker, I doubt he would even be a good high end handicapper to be honest.

Remember Apples Jade winning the race just as impressively, I think an in form Epatante would still be the one but Honeysuckle at least makes it interesting.
 
I just think Honeysuckle is more consistent than Apple's Jade and deserves a crack at the big one - sure she's already won a mares hurdle and it is looking a bit more open now after Epatante's defeat at Kempton
