Henderson: Our horses are continuing to run well and I have to admit I was particularly impressed with Shiskin who won easily at Newbury on Wednesday. He’s a horse we’ve always thought a great deal of and it was unfortunate that he fell on his hurdles debut, but he bounced back and jumped and travelled very well to win in good style. To be honest, we would have been disappointed if he wasn’t capable of winning as he was taking on (and subsequently beat) a horse who’d previously finished second to one of ours, Mister Coffey, so we thought the form was pretty good. Nico suggested he’ll be suited but two and a half but he showed a very good turn of foot and quickened up well on that ground. He’s no mudlark by any means and could be even better on good ground. He’ll be given entries in both the Ballymore and Supreme but he’ll have to run again before Cheltenham so we may look at something like the Dovecote at Kempton in a few weeks time.

I suppose the form line would suggest Shiskin is preferred to Coffey, based on the difference in distance they beat Skakem up’arry by, however I just can’t get away from the hype Henderson bought to the festival last year in regards to his supreme horses, which has already been mentioned here.
Law of averages means he’ll probably have one go close soon enough in the supreme, that matches the hype (obviously he had Altior) however don’t think it’s this year - I still think winner is coming from Ireland.

On Supreme offers, sky bet have done money back on a loser in the first race of the day for the last 2 festivals. Capped at £20 but a free cover if you are worried you’ve missed one

Angels won a grade 2 on debut, not a grade 4 novice,
He then lost in the Dovecote. And still got hyped after that, once everyone changed their nappy.
