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.
