BetVictor’s Sam Boswell…
“It is a actually tough puzzle for me, I do not assume it is as apparent because the market suggests and perhaps I am attempting to be too intelligent right here however Jonbon at 7/2 – is {that a} value I can provide him another go?
“Yes, he was so disappointing at Cheltenham, nothing really went right and so you have to ignore that run and hope that returning to Sandown is going to spark something.
“I respect he is getting a bit older, I do know lots of people are going to crab the headgear angle and I am not going to sit down right here and inform you it is a huge constructive however they’re nonetheless attempting make certain they’ll eke out the very best from Jonbon and one reasonable run would not make you a nasty horse.
“My heart may be ruling my head here but I’d love to see Jonbon do it just one more time.”
Host Kate Tracey…
“I might like to see Jonbon bouncing wager to raised type nevertheless it’s Il Etait Temps for me, a horse who I like and who I’ve truly ridden out. He is only a very diminutive, beautiful horse he’s and such a beautiful individual as effectively so I actually wish to see him going effectively on this.
“He is so talented and given his size it makes no sense to me why he should be as good as he is.
“I suppose a priority for him will not be coming right here tremendous contemporary which sounds weird however we have seen him displaying himself to be so, so good when he has an enormous absence to beat as we noticed on his reappearance and the Grade One Celebration Chase over immediately’s course and distance. Aside from that, I simply really feel he’s so strong.”
At The Races’ Declan Rix…
“Il Etait Temps is a forward going horse who wears a hood and I think the race sets up lovely for him, L’Eau Du Sud and Jonbon will go forward and I think Paul Townend will just bide his time. He’s a cracking horse.
“Kate has already talked about that he is not essentially the most imposing however he is an actual athlete and the one fear for me is all of the rain coming as a result of I feel on good floor he does all the things so simply. He jumps higher, he travels and as we noticed within the Celebration Chase, he gave Jonbon windburn!
“The more rain that falls, the less confident I am and L’Eau Du Sud on soft ground; he was dynamite last time out in the Shloer Chase.”
