A Grade 1 race, the Clarence House Chase is run over 2 miles and 1 furlong with 13 fences to be negotiated.
Run annually at Ascot, it typically features horses that are potential contenders for the Champion Chase at the Cheltenham Festival.
Seven horses have won both races in the same season - Viking Flagship in 1994, Call Equiname in 1999, Master Minded in 2009, Sprinter Sacre in 2013, Sire De Grugy in 2014, Dodging Bullets in 2015, and Altior in 2019.
Nicky Henderson has trained the winner of the race on six occasions, most recently with Shishkin in 2022, and he could be represented this year by the exciting Jonbon.
