It will take something real special to prevent him landing a race the trainer loves to harvest. However, Chacun has travel and track issues to overcome but is sure, in view of his home successes, to attract punters at 5/1. A well-bred type, he has been very impressive in his two wins to date. This is the easier of the two and trip will not be a bother, all of which makes him a solid banker, albeit at odds-on, to give Mullins his fifth success in the race. Nicky Henderson thinks the world of Shishkin and believes he can follow in the hoof prints of Finian's Rainbow, Sprinter Sacre and Altior. He renews his clash with the Mullins contender Energumene in the Queen Mother Champion Chase (3.30), the pair having endured a great tussle in Ascot's Clarence House Chase.

He won it last year by a street and has been laid out for this again in what could be his last outing on a racetrack. 15:30 - Queen Mother Champion Chase - This is being billed as a match between Nicky Henderson's all-conquering Shishkin and Willie Mullins' Energumene who clashed in one of the races of the season at Kempton back in January. They went toe-to-toe and Energumene looked to be putting Shishkin to the sword but the 2021 Arkle winner was not to be denied and powered all the way to the line to win by a length. He was five lengths behind Tommy's Oscar at Haydock and 15 behind Goshen at Sandown but with some old sparkle back over fences, he's far from a no-hoper in this. I may be ridiculed for saying this but I don't think Shishkin is bulletproof and there is a bit of mystique still around Chacun Pour Soi. On his best form, he'd be contesting favouritism here but punters are holding his poor trips across the Irish Sea against him, possibly rightly so. Perhaps American Mike's form has worked out marginally better but it is so hard to call this early in these horses' careers. 17:30 - Champion Bumper - This race always has plenty of hype horses and the one this year is Facile Vega, son of former Willie Mullins superstar Quevega. He could be very special but I've been taken by AMERICAN MIKE (5/2) for Gordon Elliott in the hands of jockey JJ Codd. Neither horse has done anything wrong in their two starts under rules. The winner carried level weights with the Shunter off a mark of 143 and that one has gone out since and ran up to a mark just shy of 150. Shishkin is truly a class act and is most people's idea of the winner here but I'm going to give one of Willie Mullins' forgotten heroes a second chance. 13:30 - Ballymore Novices Hurdle - Sir Gerhard (4/6) is my idea of the winner here but he is already odds-on so not the best bet for casual punters. Mullins would not be taking him back to Cheltenham if he didn't think he was up to it and I know he has a massive soft spot for the horse, as do I. This is the ideal prep for that as the race has produced numerous subsequent gold Cup winners, including Bobs Worth, Lord Windermere and Denman from Nicholls' own yard. BRAVEMANSGAME (9/4) should win this as he is trainer Paul Nicholls' idea of a Gold Cup horse over the next few years.
