2023 Cross Country Chase Odds and Entries - Delta Work favouritie to retain Chelteham crown

Here's a look through the current Cross Country Chase betting and a rundown of the most likely runners.

Delta Work crashed Tiger Roll's retirement party when he pipped his stablemate to the post in this race 12 months ago. Gordon Elliott's charge has run well on all three of his starts so far this season and Delta Work is currently 11/10 to retain his Cross Country crown.

Elliott could also be represented by former National Hunt Chase winner Galvin, who's struggled for form in Grade One company. Willie Mullins also has a couple of runners sitting near the head of the betting, Franco De Port and Good Bye Sam.

Galcoflaur and Hip Hop Conti could fly the flag for France on day two of the Cheltenham Festival. Enda Bolger has handed an entry to Prengarde, while former Gold Cup runner-up, Santini could also have a crack at the Cross Country.

Other notable runners include Cheltenham handicap winners Back On The Lash and Diesel D'Allier. Grand National-bound Gesskille could run here before heading onto Aintree. Chris's Dream, Saint Godefroy, Minella Times and Shady Operator could also take up their entries.
