Paddy Power pay out on Jonbon winning at 2023 Cheltenham Festival before he even makes seasonal debut

Summarized by: Live Sports Direct
 

Paddy Power paid out on Jonbon for next year's Sporting Life Arkle Chase at the Cheltenham Festival. Paddy's traders saw a couple of videos of JonBon schooling well ahead of his chasing debut next week. Jon Bon finished second behind Constitution Hill in the Supreme back in March before landing the Top Novices’ Hurdle at Aintree a few weeks later. The JP McManus-owned six-year-old is set to make his debut at Exeter on Monday with 2019 Triumph HURDLE winner Pentland Hills.
