Jonbon
JONBON ended his string of seconds in the top 2m chases with a gutsy success in the Clarence House here last time and, with this longer distance promising to suit, he can go on to land a twelfth Grade 1 victory. He is taken to get the better of Pic d'Orhy, who is respected as he bids for a hat-trick in this race, with Edwardstone the pick of the remainder.

Has remarkably yet to finish out of the top 2 in twenty-six career starts under Rules, adding to his Grade 1 tally when rallying for a second successive win in the Clarence House here last month. Can benefit from this step up in trip and looks set to make another bold bid.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot2m 172ySoftChase1/4Sandown Park1m 7f 99yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase2/5Cheltenham1m 7f 199ySoftChase2/6Sandown Park1m 7f 99yGoodChase2/7Aintree2m 3f 200yGoodChase1/4- 6Pic D'OrhyJ: Harry CobdenT: Paul Nicholls/11P-23Age 1115/815/87/4

Enhanced his fine Ascot record when winning twice over C&D last season, making it back-to-back wins in this race. As good as ever when runner-up in the Charlie Hall at Wetherby on return, so no surprise to see him bounce back from a below-par effort here last time.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot2m 5f 13yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase3/5Wetherby3m 45yGoodChase2/5Sandown Park2m 6f 164yGoodChasepu/9Ascot2m 5f 8yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/6Ascot2m 5f 8yGoodChase1/4- 3EdwardstoneJ: Tom CannonT: Alan King354-421Age 1211/111/110/1

Top-class chaser in his prime who has shown that he's still capable of smart form this season, getting back to winning ways in 4-runner Silviniaco Conti Chase at Kempton 5 weeks ago. Has been a grand servant to connections and he can give another good account.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKempton Park2m 4f 110yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/4Huntingdon2m 3f 189ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase2/5Cheltenham1m 7f 199ySoftChase4/6Sandown Park1m 7f 99yGoodChase4/7Newbury2m 92ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase5/5- 1Blow Your WadJ: Freddie MitchellT: Gary & Josh Moore5/55-37Age 814/120/118/1

Grade 2 novice chase winner in 2023/24 but lightly raced since that season. Creditable third in Sodexo Gold Cup at this course on return and shaped as if still in form here last time but has plenty to find in this contest on first run since leaving Tom Lacey.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot2m 7f 185yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase7/12Ascot2m 7f 185yGoodChase3/12Cheltenham2m 4f 127yGoodChase5/10Kempton Park2m 4f 110yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase5/9Aintree2m 3f 200ySoft (Heavy in places)Chase5/5- 4HeltenhamJ: Tristan DurrellT: Dan SkeltonP8332FFAge 966/166/150/1

Returned to form final 2 starts last term, running out a wide-margin winner at Perth in April. However, he hasn't kicked on this season, falling for the second start in succession in C&D handicap last month. Looks to be up against it at this level.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot2m 5f 13ySoftChaseF/9Aintree2m 3f 200yGood to Soft (Soft in places)ChaseF/5Newbury2m 3f 187yGood to SoftChase2/6Wetherby2m 3f 85ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase3/6Fontwell Park2m 3f 104yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase3/7- 2Classic MaestroJ: Luke ScottT: Jennie Candlish413-U62Age 866/166/180/1

Fine strike rate over hurdles (5-10) and notched second success in this sphere when making all in a small-field Leicester handicap a year ago. Back to best on third start of the current campaign when runner-up in handicap at Sandown 2 weeks ago, but this is a tough ask.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSandown Park1m 7f 99ySoft (Heavy in places)Chase2/11Haydock Park2m 67yGood to SoftChase6/10Carlisle1m 7f 207yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chaseur/5Catterick Bridge2m 3f 51yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase3/3Leicester1m 7f 201ySoft (Heavy in places)Chase1/5
