Cheltenham Arkle Challenge Trophy 2010

The 2010 Arkle Chase has been won by the impressive looking Sizing Europe who managed to get up the hill to hold off a late charge from the fast finishing Somersby. The favourite was Captain Cee Bee but he was never in the race to leave Henry De Bromhead on hand to take the win for Ireland. Somersby was impressive but needed another furlong but they all played second fiddle to Sizing Europe who may be ready to go onto bigger things next season and the Queen Mother Champion Chase.

The Arkle Challenge Trophy, formerly known as the Cotswold Chase, was renamed in honour of the great steeplechaser, Arkle, who won the Cheltenham Gold Cup three times in the 1960’s. Arkle Champion Chase History.
