Arkle Chase Runners and Odds

The Irish Independent Arkle Challenge Trophy Steeple Chase takes place at Cheltenham on Tuesday 16th March 2010 at 2.05pm and is considered one of the major races of the Cheltenham Festival. Run over two miles, this race use to be known as the Cotswold Chase but had a name change in 1969 to the Arkle Trophy to honour the legendary steeplechaser, who won the Cheltenham Gold Cup in 1965, 66 and 67.

Sponsorship of the race has changed hands a few times over the years with the Irish Independent pairing up with for the last 11 years. Previously it was Guinness from 1994 to 1999. It’s a novice champion chase and past winners include Forpadydeplasterer in 2009, Tidal Bay in 2008 and Voy Por Ustedes in 2006.

Antepost odds are quite tight as no real potential winner has emerged from the 21 runners that have been entered so over the coming weeks you may see some of them getting one last run-out before the big day which could help you decide who you want to put your money on!
