John Brewin here, your guide for a slightly truncated Wednesday race card. The Cross-Country will be missed. No Cheese Wedges or Aintree fences this year. And though there will be a smattering of Henderson horses, the Seven Barrows team is all but packed up and headed home. Jonbon, brother of Douvan the destroyer himself, would have added a dimension to the Champion Chase, and Shishkin missing the Gold Cup is a what a might have been story, for one of chasing’s mystery horses. On with the Mullins procession today? More than likely, we’re looking to the likes of Gordon Elliott and Henry de Bromhead to lower their fellow Irishman’s colours.
Barry Glendenning is here all week, and took in a rather low-key opening day for everyone not called Mullins or Townend.
