3 out of 5 of his winners have been in the Ultima.
He has never won the Close Brothers, Cross Country, Brown Advisory, Martin Pipe, County Hurdle or Grand Annual. He has sent more runners to the Kim Muir than any other race and had more losing favourites than any other race.
A £10 level stake across all his handicap runners from 2008-2018 would leave you down £385

Conclusion
Its been a quiet few years at Cheltenham for Jonjo with all his winners coming between 2009 2014. He had his lowest number of total runners last season and lowest number of Cheltenham handicap entries last year
Holywell accounts for 2 of his 5 wins in handicaps at Cheltenham. Hardly crept in at 11/22 in the weights in the Pertemps Final and 6/23 in the weights when winning the Ultima. Alfie Sherrin actually was a bit of a plot (which I covered in the JP thread).
Similarly to others analysed, his ratio of winners to losing favourites is similar with 5 winners and 6 losing favourites (Pipe had 11 losing favourites and 10 winners, Nicholls had 10 losing favourites and 12 winners).
Outside of Holywell all his winners have been JP MacManus owned. Bar Johns Spirit, all of his losing favourites have also been owned by JP MacManus:
Alfie Sherrin, Sunnyhillboy Ultima
Kia Kaha Close Brothers
Colour Squadron, Sunnyhillboy Close Brothers
This prompted me to look at horses that are JP owned and non-JP owned
Ultima 7 v 8
Close Brothers 4 v 4
Cross Country 1 v 0
Coral Cup 5 v 3
Pertemps 11 v 4
Brown Advisory 5 v 5
Kim Muir 10 v 9
Martin Pipe 7 v 3
County 7 v 3
Grand Annual 8 v 0 (5 for Eastlake)
63% of his 104 handicap entries have been owned by JP MacManus, with 5/6 of his losing favourites being owned by JP MacManus. Id say they are more heavily punted than most.
I've had plenty of great days backing Jonjo's but cant help feeling most of those days are behind me now.
