Arkle Challenge Trophy Chase Free Bets & Odds 2021

16.03.21 2:10pm Arkle Chase

Of the fantastic races that we have at the Cheltenham Festival, the Arkle Chase is one steeped in history.

The Arkle Chase is ran over two miles and uses the big fences, so is a great test of speed and jumping ability.

With this race taking place on the first day, this is a great race to spend your Cheltenham free bets on.

And considering the speed these horses travel at in this race and the fact they are novice chasers, expect plenty of excitement in this race.

Arkle Chase 2021 Betting Tip

Big late news right on the eve of the festival with Energumene being withdrawn from this race due to injury.

That will put Shishkin as a long odds on favourite for the race, and will be seen as a banker by many.

However, one of the more intriguing options is certainly Allmankind and he looks the value here. There was a question over Energumene and Allmankind regarding who would lead and take this field on, and would they harm each others chances.

Now Energumene is out, Allmankind should get an easy lead, and will give Shiskin the biggest jumping test of his career so far.

These are novice horses and in terms of value, Allmankind is the bet here for us, he will give Shishkin plenty to think about and is overpriced.

Arkle Chase Betting Update – March 2021

Shishkin is as short as 1/2 now that Energumene has been withdrawn from the race, and will be one of the horses that some people mark as being a banker of the meeting.

Allmankind is 4/1 in behind him, and gets the allowance for being a younger horse, while also has an easier task of leading the race now that Energumene is gone.

Behind these two, Captain Guinness and Franco De Port, both at 8/1 are the only two horses who are priced up at 20/1 or less alongside the main two.
