There’s few doubts surely about some of those at the head of the market actually running, and I think that the 5-1 for Edwardstone is value right now.
I hope that we see him in The Shloer Chase, rather than taking up his entry at Ascot, and we know he likes Sandown too, so I’ve taken that 5-1
Agree
Henderson made me laugh on Shishkin
We are delighted with him etc, etc, etc

Mullins has said Gentleman de Mee is coming over for this. It’ll be fascinating to see if he can confirm Aintree form with Edwardstone. I think he will.
I’ll take Greaneteen 5-1 ew. He should be in A1 condition for this after his prep on Friday.
He’s won 3 grade 1s at Sandown including this race and rated higher than Gentleman de Mee and Edwardstone. Shishkin seemingly not looking like getting there in time and Energumene unlikely to run.
I just hoped that Shishkin would bounce back to his best here, but there has to be a real chance that we’ll not see him
here.I’ll join in with Edwardstone at 5-1
I’m not betting Nube Negra on Sunday, but I’ve bet him for this at 12-1. I’ve always been a fan of the horse, and I think that he shouldn’t be that far away here.
Threw a few quid the way of Funambule Sivola a couple of weeks back at 25’s, in the hope that it might cut up.
It has cut up as expected, and he’s still 25’s, with a real chance he’ll go bigger during the week.
Not as keen on him now, and could equally bet Dunvegan at a price as well, but not really the race for two bets.
I’ll stick with Funambule, but the only crumb of comfort I can give myself is that the dry week won’t inconvenience him
Funambule Sivola 25’s EW
Vibes are okay regard Shishkin.
I have to see him run again before backing him for anything, fingers crossed he can get back to form
Would be great to Edwardstone take a step forward here
The Mullins horse looks the value at 12’s if turning upGaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
Can’t understand how Gentleman De Mee is 12-1, when the horse he beat at Aintree is no better than 9-2.
Obviously a race that revolves around Shishkin- who would walk this at his best- but I’m happy to take the 12s about the Irish raider.
I am hoping Gentleman Du Mee recaptures his Aintree form.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"So the heavy ground beat shishkin at cheltenham, as nicky put it, now the good grounds to good for him to likely be running on… bizarre,
Shishkin had bone issues after Cheltenham so that could be factored into Henderson not wanting it too fast for him, perhaps?

Sandown’s chase course is split 50/50 between good and good to soft ground at the moment, the whole of the back straight and halfway round the turn out of the back is good along with the bit from the Pond Fence to just before the 2nd last with the rest good to soft.
With a dry rest of the week forecast and the fact that they have had less than 7mm over the last week, I don’t see Shishkin or Edwardstone running (if their trainers hold true to form) if they don’t have any significant rain as the most water that the cotc can put on the course is enough to maintain the conditions they have currently.
With that being the case, its Greaneteen’s race to lose
Interesting to note that the cotc while saying it is roughly a 50/50 split between good and good to soft on the chase course is giving the ground officially as good to soft (good in places) maybe in an attempt to ease trainers minds?
This piece in the RP is interesting particularly given the mini chart showing the number of runner/ground conditions through the years which indicates that the number of runners is pretty much the same regardless of ground conditions.
