Nicky Henderson will be hoping Jonbon can finally win at the Cheltenham Festival in the Queen Mother Champion Chase.
The full brother to Douvan has been the bridesmaid on two previous occasions at the March mega meet, but the minimum-distance division looks to be at his mercy after a sensational start to the season.
