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.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: Thistle Ask shouldn’t be inconvenienced if looking to adopt a prominent position: The leaders will have to go harder than the predicted pace forecast if the hold-up horses such as Jonbon are going to come into things.
Individual Price Hint: Jonbon traded at more than 5 times Betfair SP and 2 times Betfair SP when winning on 2 of its last 5 starts.
