SHISHKIN DELIVERED ANOTHER supreme display in the Irish Thoroughbred Marketing Lightning Novices’ Chase at Doncaster.
With Cheddleton a late absentee, only four went to post for the Grade Two and Nico de Boinville settled the 1-7 favourite in third.
Eldorado Allen and Est Illic set a decent tempo in the testing ground before Est Illic found it too much with half a mile to run.
De Boinville just had to niggle on the Nicky Henderson-trained market leader, but he joined Eldorado Allen at the fourth last and the race was soon over.
