Arkle Chase Tips

14:10 Cheltenham
Found A Fifty Silk 2
  • Age:7
  • Weight:11-7
  • Form:84-1212
  • OR:154
A fair sized field of ten line up for the My Pension Expert Arkle Challenge Novices’ Chase run over just short of two miles. Ireland have won six of the last 9 renewals and that can be extended here with the Gordon Elliott trained Found A Fifty. He went down by a neck to Il Etait Temps at the Dublin Racing Festival in February and there shouldn’t be much between them here today on identical terms. Willie Mullins runs three with Paul Townend on board Gaelic Warrior who’s been runner up at the Festival in the last two years. He does have questions to answer now though after a lack lustre effort at the Dublin Racing Festival with his tendency to jump out to the right a negative here. This looks one for the Irish with Found A Fifty just shading it.

Arkle Chase Racecard

My Pension Expert Arkle Challenge Trophy Novices' Chase (Grade 1) (GBB Race)

1M 7F (Class 1) (5YO plus) (£98,472)
-
10 runners
-
3 Places
Going: Heavy (Soft in places)

Seven of the last 10 renewals of this race have been won by the market leader, which bodes well for long-time ante-post fancy Gaelic Warrior, even though his trainer Willie Mullins has gone on record to say that Cheltenham isn't exactly the ideal venue for this high-class six-year-old. Nevertheless, it is possible dropping back in trip and the addition of a first-time hood will help the son of Maxios cope with going left-handed again, so he is a must for the shortlist, despite a lacklustre effort when unseating Paul Townend at the final fence in match-race with leading Brown Advisory fancy Fact To File in the Ladbroke at Leopardstown 37 days ago. However, as ever, Mullins, who has landed this race five times over the last decade, has a wealth of talent at his disposal and can strike again with IL ETAIT TEMPS, whose record over fences fits the profile of previous winners. The selection is very much on an upwards trajectory and can turnaround last December's Limerick form with Gaelic Warrior over shorter this trip. Found A Fifty was only a neck behind the selection when they clashed in the Irish Arkle last month and has to be feared on that basis. JPR One and Matata rate the pick of the home-trained contingent.

Arkle Chase Overview

The Arkle Challenge Trophy is a Grade One chase for novices, normally run as the second race of the first day of the Cheltenham Festival. It is run over 1 mile, 7 furlongs, and 199 yards of the old course with thirteen fences to be jumped. The winning first-place prize money is likely to be around the £99,000 mark.

It is the leading two-mile chase for novices in the National Hunt calendar with the leading performers likely to go on and meet again at Aintree and Punchestown at their festivals in the following couple of months.

Arkle Chase Betting Trends and Statistics

The race has been dominated by trainers Nicky Henderson and Willie Mullins over the past 11 years with Henderson winning four and Mullins scoring with five with only David Pipe, Henry DE Bromhead, and Alan King breaking the sequence.

Henderson has won a total of seven Arkle Chase in total making him the leading trainer in the race whilst the leading jockey in the race is jointly held by the retired duo Barry Geraghty and Ruby Walsh.

The winner will be deemed to be called the best two-mile novice chaser around and is likely to be seen back at the following year’s Festival in the Queen Mother Champion Chase.

Arkle Chase History

Introduced as a replacement for The Cotswolds Chase in 1969, its title pays homage to the great Arkle, a three-time winner of the Cheltenham Gold Cup in the mid-1960s. It has been sponsored by Guinness, The Irish Independent newspaper, The Racing Post, and has, since 2021, been sponsored by Sporting Life.

Some of the noteworthy winners throughout the years include Flagship Uberalles (1999), Moscow Flyer (2002), Sprinter Sacre (2012), Douvan (2016), Altior (2017), Shishkin (2021) and El Fabiolo last year.
