Race Tip
A bad mistake cost JONBON (4) the G1 Clarence House Steeple Chase at Cheltenham in January. Trained by Nicky Henderson and can return to winning ways having previously shaped as though this step up in trip would suit. Managing to win this last year PIC D'ORHY (6) may provide a bold defence while found success in the G1 Ascot Chase during February. First two home in the G1 Ryanair Chase at Cheltenham PROTEKTORAT (7) and ENVOI ALLEN (3) both hold solid form claims with the former two from three at this venue. Selected to uphold placings.
