Verdict

JONBON is no longer the dominant force in the 2m division but his record (particularly away from Cheltenham) is still an enviable one and he rates the percentage call in his quest for a third Celebration Chase. Thistle Ask has 3 lengths to find with Jonbon from Ascot but he's been kept fresh for this, while Solness confirmed he's capable of top-class form away from Leopardstown when an honourable second at Aintree recently.
