JONBON ended his string of seconds in the top 2m chases with a gutsy success in the Clarence House here last time and, with this longer distance promising to suit, he can go on to land a twelfth Grade 1 victory. He is taken to get the better of Pic d'Orhy, who is respected as he bids for a hat-trick in this race, with Edwardstone the pick of the remainder.
