Sporting Life Arkle Novices’ Chase: Cheltenham Festival 2021 Preview and Tips

Exclusive preview and tips for the Sporting Life Arkle Novices’ Chase at the Cheltenham Festival brought to you by the team at Star Sports. The two-mile novice championship for chasers provides a thrilling spectacle and has often been a sign for future festival greatness, sometimes over longer trips in future.

A potential duel between last year’s Supreme Novices’ Hurdle winner SHISHKIN and Irish Arkle winner ENERGUMENE has got everyone talking, with Henry VII Chase winner ALLMANKIND sure to give the leading pair something to think about in what could be one of the races of the festival.

Put The Kettle On provided a slight surprise at 16/1 last year but this has been a race for the punters - six of the last nine winners returned odds-on.
