Jonbon
Nicky Henderson's top-notch JONBON has yet to finish out of the first two throughout his distinguished career and is confidently expected to return in style from breathing surgery and bag a hat-trick in this Grade 2 chase. Dan Skelton has his string in great nick so his progressive second-season chaser L'Eau du Sud could prove the pick of the rest, although Brookie also looks to have better days ahead of him and shouldn't be underestimated in the battle for minor honours.

Top-class and supremely consistent chaser who gained a fourth victory of last term in ready fashion in the Melling Chase at Aintree in the spring. Returns after a wind op and he is impossible to oppose in his bid for a hat-trick in this race.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSandown Park1m 7f 99yGoodChase2/7Aintree2m 3f 200yGoodChase1/4Cheltenham1m 7f 199yGood to SoftChase2/8Ascot2m 167yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/4Sandown Park1m 7f 99yHeavyChase1/6- 2L'eau Du SudJ: Harry SkeltonT: Dan Skelton111143-Age 710/310/33/1

Quick to make his mark over fences last term and completed a four-timer in Grade 2 Kingmaker at Warwick in February. Posted a good fourth in the Arkle here after and this C&D winner shouldn't be underestimated on his return for a yard well among the winners.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAintree1m 7f 176yGoodChase3/5Cheltenham1m 7f 199yGood to SoftChase4/5Warwick2m 54ySoftChase1/4Sandown Park1m 7f 99yHeavyChase1/4Cheltenham1m 7f 199yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/8- 6Libberty HunterJ: Harry CobdenT: Evan Williams23/12F-Age 915/213/27/1

Smart chaser who scored over C&D on his return last term and was running well when fell 3 out in Queen Mother Champion Chase over C&D in March. Remains quite low mileage so he can't be totally dismissed.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCheltenham1m 7f 199yGood to SoftChaseF/8Newbury2m 92ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase2/5Cheltenham2m 62yGood to SoftChase1/6Aintree1m 7f 176yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase3/10Cheltenham1m 7f 199ySoft (Heavy in places)Chase2/16- 7MatataJ: J.

Headstrong sort but developed into a very smart chaser last season when winning over C&D and at Windsor. Had a rare off day on his reappearance when seventh of 9 over C&D three weeks ago but it would come as no surprise to see him get back on track now.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCheltenham1m 7f 199yGood to SoftChase7/9Aintree2m 3f 200yGoodChase3/4Newbury2m 92ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase3/5Windsor2m 33ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/8Kelso2m 1f 14ySoftChase2/7- 4EdwardstoneJ: Tom CannonT: Alan King3F2354-Age 1111/114/112/1

A very smart chaser but he went without a win last term and signed off with a below-par fourth in the Celebration Chase at Sandown in the spring. This veteran C&D scorer has been placed in the past two runnings of this though so can't be totally dismissed.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSandown Park1m 7f 99yGoodChase4/7Newbury2m 92ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase5/5Ascot2m 167yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase3/4Kempton Park2mGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase2/7Sandown Park1m 7f 99yHeavyChaseF/6- 5Haddex Des ObeauxJ: Brian HughesT: Donald McCainF3/Age 828/128/125/1

Proved most progressive over fences in 2022/23 for Gary Moore when a dual 2m scorer at Doncaster/Warwick and also a fine third to Jonbon in Tingle Creek at Sandown. Resumes after 23 months off for his new stable here though so others are preferred on this occasion.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSandown Park1m 7f 99yHeavy (Soft in places)Chase3/4Cheltenham1m 7f 199yGood (Good to Soft in places)ChaseF/11Warwick2m 54yHeavyChase1/4Doncaster2m 78yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/8Kempton Park2m 2fGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase2/10- Non-Runners

Made great strides as a novice over fences last season, winning twice, and he shaped well after 5 months off when third of 9 in handicap chase over C&D 21 days ago, faring best of those held up. This demands much more but he's no forlorn hope.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCheltenham1m 7f 199yGood to SoftChase3/9Punchestown2m 75yYieldingChase4/6Aintree1m 7f 176yGoodChase2/5Doncaster2m 78yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/9Kempton Park2mGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase3/4
