2023 Arkle Challenge Trophy Entries
Topping the ante-post betting for the Arkle is Nicky Henderson's Jonbon, who followed Constitution Hill home in the Supreme 12 months ago. Jonbon has produced two flawless performances over fences this season and Henderson's star is currently the 11/8 favourite with bookmakers BetUK.
Willie Mullins likes to keep punters guessing as to which races his novices will head to at Cheltenham and Ireland's Champion Trainer accounts for eight of the 26 Arkle entries. Former Supreme winner, Appreciate It and recent Leopardstown winner, Dysart Dynamo are the highest placed of Mullins' entrants in the Arkle betting. El Fabiolo, Flame Bearer, James Du Berlais and Ha D'Or have also been entered, along with former Cheltenham Festival winner Saint Roi and Sir Gerhard.
Gordon Elliott could be represented by Fil Dor, Mighty Potter or Hollow Games. Joseph O'Brien has entered Martin Pipe winner Banbridge. Henry De Bromhead could run Largy Debut. Effernock Fizz, Final Orders and Visionarian could also represent Irish connections at the Cheltenham Festival.
Harry Fry's Boothill could step up to Grade One company, having landed a Grade Two at Kempton over Christmas. Other likely British challengers in the Arkle include Datsalrightgino, Bass Rock, Ballybreeze, West Cork and Haddex Des Obeaux.
