It's hard to look beyond JONBON, who has few peers at up to 2½m over fences and he beat Edwardstone on each of their three meetings last term, including on his reappearance in this race and final start of that campaign in the Celebration Chase at Sandown. Boothill, who was a place behind Edwardstone in the latter race, is an appealing option for forecast purposes given his excellent record when fresh.
