2.05 Arkle Chase

The Arkle has not proved to be a race for outsiders in recent times but it’s also worth noting that only one favourite has won in the last 15 years - a surprising fact given that the winners’ roll call includes Moscow Flyer, Azertyuiop, Voy Por Ustedes, Well Chief and Flagship Uberalles among others.
