Talking Horses: Shishkin set to shine in Tingle Creek
Having surrendered his unbeaten record over fences in the Champion Chase, Shishkin is now on a comeback mission. Picture: Alan Crowhurst/PA Wire.
A week on from Constitution Hill’s spectacular performance in the Fighting Fifth Hurdle, Shishkin can make it another super Saturday for Nicky Henderson by getting his career back on track in the Grade One Betfair Tingle Creek Chase.
A dual Cheltenham winner, Shishkin was strongly fancied to complete a Festival hat-trick when he lined up in the Champion Chase last March but it was soon apparent that something was amiss and he was pulled up after the eighth fence.
