Opposition to Nicky Henderson’s stable star includes a strong Irish challenge for the 2m Grade 1 contest on Wednesday, 16 March.Â

Clarence House Rematch in Queen Mother Champion Chase
Dual Cheltenham Festival winner Shishkin will face his toughest task to date seeking a third consecutive victory at the meeting. According to horse racing betting sites, this already looks a three-horse race on paper with Queen Mother Champion Chase odds of 10/1 and bigger bar the favourite and two Willie Mullins horses.
Energumene (3/1 from 5/2) was an alarming drifter on the exchanges a fortnight before the Festival. However, Mullins insist that Tony Bloom’s horse has just had a stone bruise. The bookies have Shishkin odds-on for success at a top-price 8/11 for some time now following his defeat of Energumene.
An epic encounter between those two in Clarence House Chase at Ascot in January, saw Shishkin battle back and maintain his unbeaten record over fences. Henderson’s latest superstar two-miler needed virtually every yard to get up and win by a length. Mullins has never won the Queen Mother Champion Chase, meanwhile, and that hoodoo may well continue.
Tingle Creek flops Chacun Pour Soi (15/2 from 12/1) and Nube Negra (18/1 from 12/1) come next in the betting. The belief among the top UK betting sites is that neither showed their true running at Sandown Park in December. That Grade 1 race went to Greaneteen, a notable defector for Paul Nicholls. Chacun Pour Soi won a third Dublin Chase at Leopardstown but must prove he travels to the UK.

De Bromhead runs both Envoi Allen and Put The Kettle On
Henry De Bromhead took this 12 months ago with Put The Kettle On (28/1) but she has been out of sorts in two starts this season. The history-making mare still has a four from five record at Cheltenham, however, and won the Arkle at a big price in 2020.
Powerful owners Cheveley Park Stud will want their high-profile horses kept apart, meanwhile, so Allaho was scratched early and is now primed for a defence of his Ryanair Chase crown instead and a hot favourite in the Cheltenham betting to do so. De Bromhead has Envoi Allen (12/1 from 28/1) engaged in their colours.
Nicholls, meanwhile, also has past race winner Politologue (66/1 from 20/1) as the only one of his initial entries still in the race. John Hales’ popular grey needs to roll back the years if he’s to land the Queen Mother Champion Chase odds but does go well fresh.
Funambule Sivola a market mover after Game Spirit success
Venetia Williams’Â Funambule Sivola was cut by the bookies into 20/1 after pulling off one of his career best horse racing results in the Grade 2 Game Spirit Chase at Newbury. He beat last year’s winner and unlucky in-running Champion Chase fifth Sceau Royal on Super Saturday. Funambule Sivola still has to prove he can best Shishkin, however, and he’s now out to 28/1.
The remaining entries weren’t declared. As a championship race, a number of bookies have already offered Cheltenham Non Runner No Bet (NRNB) terms on this contest. Their ante post market does take the fact punters are guaranteed a run for their money or the stake back, though, so Queen Mother Champion Chase odds will be shorter than the best prices quoted here as a result.
