Nicky Henderson will be hoping Jonbon can finally win at the Cheltenham Festival in the Queen Mother Champion Chase.
The full brother to Douvan has been the bridesmaid on two previous occasions at the March mega meet, but the minimum-distance division looks to be at his mercy after a sensational start to the season.
Last year’s renewal of the Champion Chase went to Ireland, although it was the Henry de Bromhead-trained Captain Guinness that tasted victory after hot fancy El Fabiolo disappointed.
Champion Chase odds can be found on the Paddy Power website and Paddy Power app, otherwise all the key details for this year’s renewal are below.
The Champion Chase is set to take place at Cheltenham on Wednesday, 12th March.
The Champion Chase post time is scheduled for 16:00.
You can watch the Champion Chase live on paddypower.com and the Paddy Power app or on ITV1.
