Clarence House Chase: Elixir De Nutz beats Jonbon in huge shock on Cheltenham Trials Day | Racing News

Elixir De Nutz defeated Jonbon in the My Pension Expert Clarence House Chase after a severe mistake four from home from the red-hot favourite at Cheltenham.

All looked to be going smoothly for the 1/4 favourite halfway through the race, before a shuddering error at the fourth-last caused jockey James Bowen to almost be unshipped from the saddle.

Jonbon and Bowen looked to have matters in hand again turning for home, jumping the last slightly ahead of the eventual winner but Elixir De Nutz found another gear to eke out the win over the Cheltenham Festival hopeful.

The win gave jockey Freddie Gingell and trainer Joe Tizzard their first Grade One victory, while Jonbon has eased in the betting for the Champion Chase to 9/2.
