Verdict

JONBON can boast a rare blend of durability and consistency for one of such high ability, gaining his tenth Grade 1 victory in easy fashion at Aintree 3 weeks ago. An on-song Energumene (second choice) aside, he's a class above these so is selected to complete a hat-trick in this race and sign off another brilliant campaign.
