Arkle Chase
Arkle Chase
The Arkle Chase is the championship race for 2-mile novice chasers.
A novice is a horse that has yet to win, in its discipline (hurdles or fences), before the start of the current season.
Introduced in 1969 as a replacement for the Cotswold Chase, it pays tribute to the three-time Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Arkle.
Many Arkle Chase winners have subsequently won the Queen Mother Champion Chase.
