Jonbon landed in AINTREE and landed in the first year of 10th grade with My Pension Expert Melling Chase Crown.
4/6 of Nicky Henderson was expected to take Champion Chase from Cheltenham and took second place after making a bad mistake after starting.
Only four people went up to the task of this two -mile and half miles, and Nico de Boinville did not take it for a long time ahead of the heat.
Willie Mullins’s El Fabiolo was considered his main competitor, but when he was sad, Jonbon saw the formal of one -third and one -third of the length in Dan Skleton’s ProtekTorat.
Henderson, who had endured another autumn of the Constitutional Hill at the opening day of the meeting, said:
“The champion Chase doesn’t seem to work for him. I’m sorry that everything is wrong in Chelsunham.
“He has proved that he likes to do so today. He likes his space like us, but he trusts Nico and Nico trusts. They know each other well.”

He potentially tilted in King George next season. “There is nothing impossible. At the end of last year, JP (McManus) said, ‘We are two miles and we will stay in two miles this year. But we went to AINTREE at 2:30. Will you be a brave man who rides him over three miles?
“He got these two and a half well and today he went flat, and he was a bit tired, but all the words are going so quickly.
“He won twice in Sandown and we’ll see it. He went after this race last year. But he did not go to Cheltenham. We will see.”
Meanwhile, the proud Skeleton said about Protektorat as follows:
“We tried to beat Jonbon. I don’t know how many times now and we’re not so good. It’s simple. This doesn’t mean that we are not very proud of it.
“He always had the best steps and had a good year. He didn’t get Ryanair’s fields away, as we expected, but I can’t wait again and wait next year.”
