Ascot Uk Race 6

Betmgm Clarence House Chase (Grade 1) (Gbb Race)

Stake: $355,166

An exciting clash between JONBON (4) and ENERGUMENE (3) awaits. The former suffered a shock defeat when second in this event at Cheltenham twelve months ago but arrives following a comprehensive success in the G1 Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown and can record a ninth G1 triumph while the latter returned from nearly two years off to land the G2 Hilly Way Chase at Cork and is treated with the utmost respect as a dual G1 Champion Chase hero. EDWARDSTONE (2) finished runner-up to the first mentioned on plenty of occasions and looks third best after a respectable weight-carrying performance when third in the G2 Desert Orchid Handicap Chase. BOOTHILL (1) rounds out the quartet.
