An absorbing clash awaits between heavyweights EL FABIOLO and Jonbon. They've met twice before and the score stands at one apiece, with Jonbon drawing first blood when narrowly outpointing Willie Mullins' charge over hurdles in 2022. However, El Fabiolo was firmly in command when they locked horns in this sphere in the Arkle last spring and, despite fluffing his lines in the Champion Chase, he remains the star attraction in the two-mile chasers' division. Edwardstone is best of the rest.
