Energumene and Edwardstone Among Other Candidates in For Champion Chase

Posted : 06 April 2023
After competing against each other in the Clarence House Chase earlier this season, Energumene, Editeur Du Gite, and Edwardstone will square off once more; Energumene is still the favorite despite a dismal performance the last time out.

Nine horses have been confirmed for the Betway Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham on Wednesday, including the defending champion Energumene.

A bloodless victory on the second day of the Festival last year by Willie Mullins' nine-year-horse old's earned him the top prize. He then went on to win easily at the Punchestown Festival and when he made a comeback at Cork in December.

He still argues his favoritism for the second-day feature, but he comes back to Prestbury Park with a goal to succeed after placing third in the rescheduled Clarence House Chase on Festival Trials Day.

On that occasion, the dramatic finale was between Gary Moore's Editeur Du Gite and previous year's Arkle hero Edwardstone, with the former making virtually all to give jockey Niall Houlihan his maiden Grade One victory.

Both are confirmed, with Alan King's charge being the overall 7-4 favorite to reverse the situation according to the bookies. As well as Energumene, Mullins could be represented by Blue Lord and Gentleman De Mee who have both picked up Grade Ones over two miles this term.
