Allmankind has won his last three races. PLENTY had billed the potential match-up between Shishkin and Energumene in the Sporting Life Arkle (1.55pm) as the race of the 2021 Cheltenham Festival. Sadly, the news emerged late last week that the latter had met with a set back in training and the duel of the meeting was off, clearing the way for Shishkin to pick up the two-mile novice crown without a punch being exchanged. However, there are enough reasons to suggest that this may not be the walk in the park bookmakers and punters are expecting and you are a braver man than me if you are keen to hoover up the 1/2 on offer with Fitzdares.
