Queen Mother Champion Chase Racecard
Betway Queen Mother Champion Chase (Grade 1) (GBB Race)
Jonbon narrowly got the better of EL FABIOLO in their novice hurdle days but the latter readily exacted his revenge in last season's Arkle. Willie Mullins' charge hasn't put a foot wrong in three starts since, arguably producing a career-best performance when sweeping aside smart mare Dinoblue at the Dublin Racing Festival last month, and he can confirm his superiority over his main rival en route to making it seven from seven over the larger obstacles. Jonbon kicked off the season with two victories over Edwardstone and would almost certainly have won the Clarence House on the New course here in January but for a bad mistake four out. He is reunited with Nice de Boinville and demands respect, while all-the-way Game Spirit scorer Edwardstone should give a good account from the front but could be vulnerable to younger legs once the race begins in earnest turning for home.
