El Fabiolo proved disappointing for favourite backers in last year’s Champion Chase, with Captain Guinness capitalising for Henry de Bromhead and Rachael Blackmore. Jonbon, one of the leading contenders, was taken out of the race after Nicky Henderson’s stable form concerns and El Fabiolo was pulled up after the fifth fence having jumped poorly. Captain Guinness proved a willing partner for Blackmore and repelled Gentleman De Mee by a length and a half. He was a fourth different winner for De Bromhead since 2011, with the trainer also successful with Sizing Europe, Special Tiara and Put The Kettle On.
