Realt Dubh has been introduced at 14/1 by totesport for the Arkle Chase at Cheltenham following his victory in the Bord Na Mona With Nature Novice Chase in which hot favourite Mikael d’Haguenet could only finish fifth.

Noel Meade’s gelding travelled well and was the main beneficiary of Saludos’ crashing fall at the last which cleared the path for a comfortable success.
‘Mikael d’Haguenet didn’t look happy at all at Leopardstown and if connections can’t find the reason why he continually jumped right, then the Cheltenham Festival may well be off the agenda,’ said totesport spokesman George Primarolo.
Mikael d’Haguenet has been pushed out to 20/1 (from 12/1) for the Arkle Chase whilst Willie Mullins’ gelding is out to 10/1 (from 7/1) for the RSA Chase.
Elsewhere at Leopardstown, Hidden Universe has been cut to 10/1 (from 14/1) by totesport for the Supreme Novices’ after an easy victory in the Bord Na Mona Clean Water 4YO Maiden Hurdle. Sailors Warn stepped up on his previous run to take the Grade 2 Bord Na Mona Fire Magic Juvenile Hurdle and has been introduced at 25/1 by totesport for the JCB Triumph Hurdle.
There has also been decent support for Menorah for the Champion Hurdle and totesport have been forced to cut the stanjames.com International winner to 4/1 joint second-favourite.
