Today’s Melling Chase at Aintree includes notable competitors for Jonbon such as El Fabiolo, Protektorat, and Matata, though the Nicky Henderson-trained horse heads into the race as the odds-on favorite for victory.
A Record to Boast
Jonbon boasts an impressive record at Aintree, having won all three of his previous Grade 1 races at the venue, with all four of his career defeats having occurred at Cheltenham.
Jonbon’s most recent performance was a second-place finish at Cheltenham in the Queen Mother Champion Chase where a significant mistake affected his chances.
It’s believed that Jonbon’s racing style is well-suited to Aintree’s flatter track, and his strong record at the course and his title as the odds-on favorite make him the horse to beat in this afternoon’s Melling Chase.
