Shiskin stays unbeaten over fences with Aintree success

Shishkin ridden by jockey Nico de Boinville clear a fence on their way to winning the Doom Bar Maghull Novices' Chase

Shishkin maintained his unbeaten record over fences with a workmanlike performance in the Doom Bar Maghull Novices' Chase at Aintree.

Nicky Henderson's exciting prospect may not have been as impressive as in previous races, but the 1-8 favourite got the job done to complete the Cheltenham/Aintree two-mile novice Grade One double after taking the Arkle Trophy last month.
