The initial list of entries were revealed for the 2022 Queen Mother Champion Chase on Tuesday, with top trainers from across Britain and Ireland entering their best two-mile chasers.

Nicky Henderson's Shishkin tops the current Champion Chase betting. You can find the latest betting for this Grade One here on our website.

Shishkin could square off against both Energumene and Chacun Pour Soi, who were both entered by Willie Mullins. Mullins has also entered last year's Ryanair Chase winner, Allaho.

Defending Champion, Put The Kettle On features in the list of 22 Champion Chase entrants. Henry De Bromhead could also run Captain Guinness, Notebook and Envoi Allen, who returned to winning ways over two miles last time out.

Paul Nicholls has handed entries to Tingle Creek first and second, Greaneteen and Hitman, as well as former Queen Mother winner Politologue, and previous Cheltenham winner Rouge Vif. Dan Skelton could run both Nube Negra and Allmankind, with Editeur Du Gite, Funamuble Sivola, First Flow and Sceau Royal possible runners for British trainers.

Gordon Elliott could run Samcro, Battleoverdoyen and Hardline. Peter Fahy has given Dunvegan an entry for the feature race on day two of the 2022 Cheltenham Festival.
