1 DUNVEGAN (FR) (27) 6/30112- D 9 11-10

Br Gr g Le Havre (IRE) - Or des Joncs (FR) (Turgeon (USA)) Jonathan Burke J O G. Turner/Clipper Logistics Group Ltd P. A. Fahy, Ireland T B Mme Lara Kovenko & Mr Jerome Brion TIMEFORM VIEW Very smart chaser who landed back-to-back handicaps at Fairyhouse before creditable 12l second to Chacun Pour Soi in Dublin Chase at Leopardstown in February. His jumping will be an asset round here but faces an uphill task in this company on seasonal reappearance. TFRHHIII BHA160

2 EDWARDSTONE (GB) (238) 111112- CD 8 11-10

Br B g Kayf Tara - Nothingtoloose (IRE) (Luso) Tom Cannon J

O Robert Abrey & Ian Thurtle

Alan King, Barbury Castle T B Mr R. Abrey & Mr I. Thurtle Goodwin Racing Ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW A thoroughly likeable sort who took his winning sequence to 5 when landing the Arkle (his second win at Grade 1 level) at the Festival. Beaten by Gentleman De Mee at Aintree the following month, but his win in last year’s Henry VII Novice Chase makes him an obvious player. TFRHHHHI BHA161

3 FUNAMBULE SIVOLA (FR) (239) 20112P- D 7 11-10

Br B g Noroit (GER) - Little Memories (IRE) (Montjeu (IRE)) Charlie Deutsch J O My Racing Manager Friends Venetia Williams, Hereford T B Mr Gilles Trapenard My Racing Manager S TIMEFORM VIEW Progressed well in open company last season, taking the Game Spirit at Newbury, and put up a career-best when second in the Champion Chase at Cheltenham. Failed to settle when returned to a longer trip at Aintree subsequently but no back number here. TFRHHHII BHA163

4 GENTLEMAN DE MEE (FR) (21) 52111-U D BF 6 11-10

Br B g Saint des Saints (FR) - Koeur de Mee (FR) (Video Rock (FR)) Aidan Coleman J O Mr John P. McManus W. P. Mullins, Ireland T B Mr A. M. Pommerai, Mme A. Pommerai et al TIMEFORM VIEW Likely front-runner who defeated Arkle winner Edwardstone at Aintree in April, marking him as one of the top novices in the division. Nowhere near his best on his return at Naas last month, unseating when well held in third, but can bounce back for top connections. TFRHHHII BHA163

5 GREANETEEN (FR) (29) 41251-1 CD 8 11-10

Br B g Great Pretender (IRE) - Manson Teene (FR) (Mansonnien (FR)) Harry Cobden J O Chris Giles Paul Nicholls, Ditcheat T B Mr Bertrand Compignie Morson Group S TIMEFORM VIEW Last year’s winner of this race, who looked as good as ever when winning last month’s Haldon Gold Cup by 7 lengths. Has superb C&D record (form figures of 2111, all Grade 1s) and will give Shishkin the most to think about. TFRHHHHI BHA171

6 SHISHKIN (IRE) (262) 111/11P- D 8 11-10

Br B g Sholokhov (IRE) - Labarynth (IRE) (Exit To Nowhere (USA)) Nico de Boinville J O Mrs J Donnelly Nicky Henderson, Lambourn T B C.J. & E.B. Bennett Unibet S TIMEFORM VIEW Went into the Cheltenham Festival with an excellent Clarence House win (beat future Champion Chaser Energumene), making it a perfect 7 from 7 over fences. Disappointed massively when pulled up as 6/5-on favourite but can bounce back here to affirm his position as the top two-mile chaser. TFRHHHHH BHA176

DECLARED RUNNERS 6 2021: GREANETEEN (FR) 7 11 7 Bryony Frost 12-1 (Paul Nicholls) 5 ran

Hood, Tongue Strap worn by No. 4. Running for the first time since Wind Surgery No. 3. Stewards Note: FUNAMBULE SIVOLA: Following its run on 8/4/2022 it was reported that the horse stopped quickly. SHISHKIN: Following its run on 16/3/2022 it was reported that the horse laboured on the heavy ground.

Probable S.P’s: EVENS Shishkin (IRE), 5-2 Greaneteen (FR), 7-1 Edwardstone (GB), 10-1 Gentleman de Mee (FR), 25-1 Funambule Sivola (FR), 100-1 Dunvegan (FR) SHISHKIN can put his Cheltenham Festival blip firmly behind him and affirm his position at the top of the two-mile chasing division. He won’t have it easy though, with both last year’s winner Greaneteen and Sporting Life Arkle hero Edwardstone having proven course form in what should be a race to savour.
