1	4 1st (4) (8/13 +0%) Jonbon		0.615385 8/13(+0%)																															(4) Jonbon 8/13, Top-class chaser who has won 11 of his 13 starts over fences, reappearing with a cosy success from a couple of these at Cheltenham before taking the Tingle Creek once again last month. That performance was among the best of his remarkably consistent career and he'll be hard to beat once more. Has become a powerhouse in this division; now a dual Tingle Creek winner; highly respected.
2	3 2nd (3) (9/4 +0%) Energumene		2.25 9/4(+0%)																															(3) Energumene 9/4, Top-class chaser who has won 11 of his 13 starts over fences, creating a good impression back from 20 months off when scoring at Cork last month, still 2 lengths ahead when left clear last as subsequent King George winner Banbridge unseated. Tactically versatile and poised for another big run. Encouraging return to action in the Hilly Way; the best horse in this field on peak form.
3	2 3rd (2) (12/1 +14%) Edwardstone		12 12/1(+14%)																															(2) Edwardstone 12/1, Won the Grade 2 Game Spirit at Newbury last season and still capable of high-class form, proving none the worse for his Tingle Creek fall when second under a big weight in 2m Grade 2 Kempton handicap at Christmas. 0-5 against Jonbon and surprising if he can take this on first ever start at Ascot. Very smart on his day but is 0-5 when racing against Jonbon; unlikely to turn the tables.
4	1 4th (1) (16/1 +20%) Boothill		16 16/1(+20%)																															(1) Boothill 16/1, Unbeaten in 3 runs over C&D but his jumping has been letting him down since his latest success in November 2023. Held by Jonbon on his return at Cheltenham and fell for the third time in 5 starts at Kempton over Christmas (Edwardstone second). Up against it. 3-3 over C&D (handicap wins) but needs a career-best performance to land this prize.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

The top-class Energumene returned from a 593-day absence to score easily in a Grade 2 at Cork last month and although he's worthy of the utmost respect, this is all about JONBON. Nicky Henderson's star chaser recorded an eighth Grade 1 triumph when bolting up in the Tingle Creek last month and with no signs of slowing down, he's expected to do the business. It was much more like it from Edwardstone in the Desert Orchid, but he still has plenty to find in this company.

A mouthwatering first clash between ENERGUMENE and Jonbon, who have won a remarkable 13 Grade 1 chases between them, and Energumene looks the one to side with at the prices. He missed last season but made a taking return at Cork, jumping well until late in the day and probably having Banbridge's measure when the subsequent King George winner unseated at the last. Likely to build on that, he can see off the remarkably consistent Jonbon, who ran to his best when landing a second Tingle Creek.

Energumene's peak form sets a high standard but current Champion Chase favourite JONBON brings the best recent figures.

1	1 (1) (5/2 +9%) I'm A Lumberjack		2.5 5/2(+9%)																															(1) I'm A Lumberjack 5/2, Fairly useful bumper performer who confirmed hurdling debut promise when running out a tidy winner of 11-runner maiden hurdle (6/5) at Warwick (21f, soft) 37 days ago, suited by the longer trip. Likely to progress further. Much the strongest in the closing stages at Warwick (2m5f, good to soft); major player.
1	2 1st (2) (13/2 -30%) Jax Junior		6.5 13/2(-30%)																															(2) Jax Junior 13/2, Placed in bumpers last spring. Had wind surgery after making a disappointing start to his hurdle career at Uttoxeter in November and totally different proposition at Doncaster 6 weeks later, winning by 10 lengths. There should be more to come. 10l Doncaster win is not the best form in this but he made a very positive impression.
2	7 2nd (7) (10/3 -33%) Country Park		3.333333 10/3(-33%)																															(7) Country Park 10/3, Fair useful hurdler who was running well when falling 2 out in maiden hurdle over C&D (good to soft) 29 days ago, going best at time. Enters calculations. Travelling strongly just behind the leaders when he fell two out in a C&D maiden last time.
3	5 3rd (5) (5/2 +67%) U Cant Be Serious		2.5 5/2(+67%)																															(5) U Cant Be Serious 5/2, Rangy gelding who showed promise in bumpers and left his hurdling debut form well behind to open his account in 10-runner novice at Taunton (19f) 19 days ago, quickening clear flat having jumped/travelled well. This is tougher but open to further improvement. Always close up at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) and surged clear in the closing stages.
4	3 4th (3) (6/4 +70%) Laurens Bay		1.5 6/4(+70%)																															(3) Laurens Bay 6/4, Confirmed previous promise as he made it third time lucky over hurdles in 10-runner novice hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, heavy, 8/11) 41 days ago, driven out. Step up in trip promises to suit and remains capable of better. 1st or 2nd every time; there's a good chance he will get this trip; improvement is needed.
5th	6 5th (6) (33/1 +34%) Copper Jack		33 33/1(+34%)																															(6) Copper Jack 33/1, Irish point winner who appeared to improve on the form shown on bumper debut when fourth of 5 in a class 2 C&D novice in November. That was a steadily-run affair however, and the form looks suspect. After his two hurdle races, it does not look like he will be winning one just yet.
6th	8 6th (8) (125/1 -25%) Minella Kaiser		125 125/1(-25%)																															(8) Minella Kaiser 125/1, Placed on the first of 2 starts in Irish points but looks one for handicaps later on based on early evidence under Rules. After his two Irish points and a 2m5f Plumpton maiden hurdle, he looks a big outsider.

16:02 Ascot Novices Hurdle (Class 3) 22f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

I'M A LUMBERJACK just failed to beat a progressive rival on his hurdling bow at Bangor in November but, upped in trip at Warwick the following month, Alan King's gelding made no mistake. The son of Jack Hobbs looks set to progress further and he gets the nod, although Country Park had made stylish headway before coming to grief two from home over C&D recently, and he is a big player given a clean round. Others to note include Laurens Bay and Jax Junior.

LAURENS BAY did well to get the better of one that's useful on the level in what became a bit of a dash at Huntingdon the previous month and looks capable of defying a penalty, especially with today's step up in trip sure to suit. I'm A Lumberjack's Warwick win is backed up by the timefigure and he warrants plenty of respect. with U Can't Be Serious another to note having won in quite impressive fashion at Taunton.

This group looks tough to separate but JAX JUNIOR is slightly preferred to I'm A Lumberjack.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses.
