In this week's Saturday Edition, Charlotte Greenway brings you a round-up of the main news stories from the week including Robbie Dunne's appeal, the fall in attendance figures post the lifting of Covid restrictions compared with 2019 and the possibility of jump racing returning to Windsor.
Charlotte also looks ahead to this weekend's action, focusing on the clash between unbeaten chasers Shishkin and Energumene in the Grade 1 Clarence House Chase at Ascot. Nicky Henderson offers a quick line on the challenge he faces with Shishkin and bloodstock agent, David Minton, compares him with previous Henderson 2 mile great, Altior. Lydia Hislop makes her case for why Ascot should suit Energumene best. Last year's winner First Flow is back to defend his crown and trainer, Kim Bailey tries to predict how the race might turn out and discusses what sort of chance his horse has of causing an upset.
Kim Bailey also discusses Two For Gold's chances on Saturday in the Fleur De Lys Chase at Lingfield, during the inaugural running of the Lingfield Winter Million Festival. Rex Dingel rides Dashel Drasher in that race and weighs up his chances of following up his victory at Newbury over hurdles last time. Master Tommy Tucker is another who will contest this competitive affair and his trainer Paul Nicholls gives a positive bulletin on him, as well as the hattrick seeking Yala Enki at Taunton on Saturday.
