Festival Entries – Arkle

The Arkle sees some familiar names, but also a few surprises in the 2026 Cheltenham Festival entry list. The Tuesday 10 March contest has attracted top-class juvenile chasers, with early market attention on:

  • Lulamba – 6/4

  • Kopek Des Bordes – 11/4

  • Romeo Coolio – 11/2

  • Kargese – 8/1

As expected, Lulamba and Kopek Des Bordes are in, but Romeo Coolio also features prominently.
