My Way De Solzen - Arkle favourite.

MY Way De Solzen has displaced Fair Along as favourite for Tuesday's Arkle Trophy with Stan James and was cut to 3-1 from 7-2 by the firm on Sunday morning.

Neil Morrice, media and on-course representative for the Stan James said: "Shortly before Alan King announced the Arkle as My Way's chosen Festival race we saw support for the gelding. Alan walked the course this morning and is obviously keen to take advantage of the testing conditions while they exist."

Saintsaire in the Grand Annual Chase was another well-backed Cheltenham favourite with the Wantage-based firm who this morning shortened Paul Nicholls' gelding to 3-1 favourite from 4-1 favourite for that Friday contest.

Meanwhile Imperial Cup winner Gaspara was all the rage for the Fred Winter Juvenile Hurdle on Tuesday. David Pipe's filly is in a point as favourite to 3-1.

World Hurdle

"Inglis Drever ran out a thrilling winner of an incident-packed renewal of the Ladbrokes World Hurdle, taking the crown for a second time."

Champion Chase

Champion Hurdle
