Junon got the tenth grade of his career, where he kept the Meelling Chase Crown in Aintree.
Nikki Henderson’s favorite did not succeed on 4/6 when he was expected to take the champion of the chase in Shallitham, where she was forced to fight secondly after a bad mistake in the beginning.
Only four went to publish in this 2 -mile task and Niko de Boeville did not take a long time before heat appeared in the foreground.
Willie Mulins “Fabiolo” was considered his main competitor, but when he reached sadness, Junbon was left to see Protectors from Dan Skiton to be released at the foreground, which he did as a result, with three and quarter lengths.
“The horse is amazing when he did so and Niko was very brave because it was a small, difficult session for all of us. For him to go out and his ride in this way, this man had no concerns,” said Henderson Al -Marazah – who bears another fall for Hill’s constitution on the day of the opening.
“Chis does not seem to be the hero for him. It is unfortunate that it had made a mistake in Shallitham. The beginning occurred wrongly as the tape literally went on his face, went back, then I was on his foot from the word.
“Today he has proven that he loves doing it. He loves his own space, like many of us, but the horse trusts Niko and Nico trust in the horse. They know each other well and it is nice to watch it.”

In a potential tilt in King George next season, he said: “Nothing is impossible. At the end of last year, GP (McManos) said,“ We are a haven and we will stay two miles this year, but we actually reached Ainveri and we went two and a half.
“He gets this half and half of them, and they went out today. It is somewhat tired in the end, but any horse will become so fast.
“He won the chasing of the celebration (in Sandoun) twice and we will look at it.
Meanwhile, Skelton said proud of Protektoraat: “We always say before his racing that he will come to us and do his best and he did again.
“We have tried to overcome Jonbon, and I don’t know how many times, and we are not just good like it, it’s simple – that does not mean that we are not unusually proud of our horse.
“He always put his best foot forward and had a wonderful year.
