James Burn is keen on Henderson rising stars Shishkin and Chantry House
Our Lambourn correspondent puts some Seven Barrows talents top of his list
Nicky Henderson has not dampened down the hype around , who could easily be the latest superstar off the Seven Barrows conveyor belt of talent.
The Supreme winner, whose schooling has been superb, will be hard to stop in two-mile novice chases, while stablemate is also worth including. I have thought of him as a Cheltenham Gold Cup horse in the making since seeing him win a warm bumper at Warwick last year.
might have lost his aura of invincibility when going down to Cyrname 12 months ago but he's the final Henderson name on the teamsheet as he has a remarkable strike-rate.

appeals in the staying hurdling division and you get the feeling Paul Nicholls has long thought him capable of shining down that path, especially with no dominant figure such as the iconic Big Buck's around.
Like Shishkin, is a gorgeous prospect for chasing and has the world at his noble feet.
He hails from the yard of Gordon Elliott, whose appears just as exciting, especially after his recent romp at Down Royal.
Elliott's great rival Willie Mullins has his usual strong team and the picks from Closutton are high-class two-mile chaser Chacun Pour Soi and , who bolted up in the County Hurdle last term and looks a big player for the top two-mile hurdles.
Unbeaten in eight, is another who knows how to hit the target and is versatile in terms of trip and ground, so plenty of bases will be covered and she is in line for a productive campaign again.
And finally, Lostintranslation, who may get the list off to a flying start in the Betfair Chase and again has fine prospects in the King George and Cheltenham Gold Cup.
