Betfair Ascot Chase: Shishkin booked for February return after missing Silviniaco Conti Chase with setback

Shishkin had a procedure on his palate and will be back in action in February. He will run in the Betfair Ascot Chase over fences. If he doesn't win, he will head for the Ryanair at Cheltenham. He was beaten into third behind Edwardstone in Tingle Creek Chase. The horse will not be entered for Queen Mother's Cup. However, if he wins, they will supplement him.
