Shishkin (8/11), Protektorat (10/3), Sam Brown (11/2), Hitman (9/1), Does He Know (33/1)
One of the last recognised Gold Cup trials and this looks a match between SHISHKIN and Protektorat with Nicky Henderson's 10-y-o selected to come out on top having seemingly been in command when departing in unfortunate circumstances in the King George at Kempton on Boxing Day. Sam Brown, who goes particularly well when the mud is flying, could be the one to capitalise should either of the aforementioned protagonists fluff their lines.
