The Arkle Chase will see the leading minimum-distance novices take their chance in the second race of the Cheltenham Festival.

There are 13 fences to be negotiated at speed on the Old Course so foot-perfect jumping is key to success in the contest, named after the legendary three-time Gold Cup winner.

Nicky Henderson is the leading trainer in Arkle history and the Seven Barrows handler will be hoping Jonbon – second in last year’s Supreme Novices’ Hurdle – can provide him with an eighth winner.

You can run the rule over our Arkle Chase odds on the Paddy Power website and Paddy Power app, otherwise all the key details about this year’s renewal can be found below.

Arkle Chase 2023 betting

Arkle Chase odds are on paddypower.com and prices for the leading contenders can be seen on our snazzy widgets below.

Jonbon is the favourite with Paddy Power for the Arkle Chase despite being given an almighty scare in a match race with Calico in the Kingmaker Novices’ Chase.

El Fabiolo is next in the betting after a perfect start to his career over fences with two wins from two starts including the Irish Arkle last time out.

Willie Mullins’ Dysart Dynamo is also prominent in our market after a 28l victory in the Paddy Power “From The Horse’s Mouth Podcast” Beginners Chase.
