    Amongst all the talk of Shishkin v Energumene and Henderson v Mullins, fair play to Joe Donnelly and Tony Bloom as owners for letting their horses run here <ok>

    Lived up to the hype at least. Both gave there all. Shiskin has a deadly combination of speed and stamina. Well done to them.

    Absolutely superb race. How did he get up?
    Will be great to see them going up the Cheltenham hill

    Words fail me, what a superb race. One of the very best I have ever seen. A great display of sportsmanship from Paul Townend. It is almost a shame that one of them had to lose. Two exceptionally great jumpers, and two superb NH riders. <applause> <applause>

    Great race that was today. Love the fact that there were no excuses, we got the best from both horses. Shishkin is some horse. Imagine how much better it could be with a decent jockey on board. I actually think today makes Cheltenham even more intriguing. Shishkin was brilliant but Energumene lost absolutely nothing in defeat. Can't wait for the rematch
