Sandown Park Race 5

Bet365 Celebration Chase (Grade 1) (Gbb Race)

Stake: $355,166

Two-time winner of this Grade One is JONBON (5) who bids for a hat-trick in the race after a successful season with victories including course and distance G1 Tingle Creek Chase and the 3400m G1 Clarence House Chase at Ascot. Easy winner of the 4000m G1 Melling Chase at Aintree three weeks ago and is the one to beat. Irish challenger ENERGUMENE (2) rates a top-class performer. Finished 6.5L behind the top pick at Ascot during January. Pulled up at the Cheltenham Festival. Respect as set to bounce back. IL ETAIT TEMPS (4) is another representing the Mullins yard. Last seen a year ago winning the 3200m G1 Barberstown Castle Novice Chase at Punchestown (Ireland). Interesting after the absence. Previous Tingle Creek winner (2022) EDWARDSTONE (1) ran third in this last year. Not discounted.

Resumes off a 45 day letup. Last outing pulled up at Cheltenham in the G1 Queen Mother Champion Chase on March 12 over 3200m. Start before finished second in a small field at Ascot in the G1 Clarence House Steeple Chase on January 18 over 3370m, 6 len behind Jonbon carrying 74.5kg at $3.30. Worth another chance and he is likely to measure up.

Recent form hard to fault. Last outing favourite; won by 3.5 len Aintree in a G1 Melling Chase on April 4 over 4000m defeating Protektorat carrying 74.5kg at $1.70 in a steeplechase. The run before finished second of 8 runners at Cheltenham in the G1 Queen Mother Champion Chase on March 12 over 3200m, 18 len behind Marine Nationale carrying 74.5kg at $1.80. Promising galloper. Rates highly on that latest effort and can go on with it.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up finished second of 8 starters at Windsor on January 19 over 3230m, on slow going 10 len behind Matata with 71.5kg at $23. Last start finished second of 20 runners at Cheltenham on March 12 over 3200m, 1.5 len behind Jazzy Matty with 71kg at $6.50. Not keen on his chances this time.

Expected Settling Position: Pace
