Nicholls-Trained Pair Dominate Arkle and RSA Chase Markets

The entries have been revealed for both the Irish Independent Arkle Trophy and the RSA Chase at the Cheltenham Festival and they are predictably strong in both races. Tatenen heads the market at 9/2 with totesport for the Arkle, with Henrietta Knight's Calgary Bay next in the market at 6/1 and Kalahari King third-favourite at 9/1. Paul Nicholls' What A Friend - which is part owned by Sir Alex Ferguson - is the 7/1 favourite with totesport for the RSA Chase, with the Willie Mullins-trained Cooldine next at 9/1. Jeremy Scott's Gone To Lunch is a 12/1 shot, alongside Trafford Lad, whilst Breedsbreeze is 14/1. 'There have been the usual strong entries for both the Arkle and RSA Chases and given Paul Nicholls' strength-in-depth, it's no surprise to see inmates from his stable dominate both markets,' said totesport spokesman George Primarolo. 'Both Tatenen and What A Friend have been favourites for their respective races for quite a while now but with several cards yet to be played, this could all change come March.'
