Most backed horses in the Champion Chase at Cheltenham

Nicky Henderson's superstar Jonbon has been backed by 84.6% of customers ahead of the Champion Chase on the second day of the Cheltenham Festival.

Jonbon leads the way at the top of the Champion Chase odds and is bidding for his Festival win after finishing second in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle and the Arkle Chase in previous years.

Henderson will be hoping that the nine-year-old can make up for lost time after missing last year's race through injury.

Jonbon has won his last five races, including excellent performances in the Tingle Creek and the Clarence House this season, and punters are seemingly clear on who they think will win the Champion Chase.

Marine Nationale is the second most popular Champion Chase bet with 4.5% of the overall bets, while two-time winner Energumene covers just 2.9%.

Last year's winner Captain Guinness has attracted 2.6% of bets, while Found a Fifty completes the top five Champion Chase bets.
