Harry Cobden will partner Jonbon for the first time in the BetMGM Clarence House Chase on Saturday.

The former champion jockey was announced as the next retained rider for leading owner J.P. McManus earlier this week and while he does not officially start in his new role until May, he will wear the famous green and gold silks aboard Nicky Henderson’s 10-time Grade 1 winner in this weekend’s Ascot feature.
