Queen Mother Champion Chase is the feature race on Day Two of the Cheltenham Festival
Day Two of the Cheltenham Festival is upon us and the Queen Mother Champion Chase is the feature race of Style Wednesday which is better known as Ladies Day.
Betway are the sponsors of the Queen Mother Champion Chase and have El Fabiolo the odds-on favourite at 1/3 to win the race after Jonbon was pulled out.
El Fabiolo won the Arkle against Jonbon last year and this year will be hoping to win the Champion Chase.
Bookies are of course offering odds for the full day which should again prove to be as entertaining as it always is, with Tuesday's Racing delivering brilliantly.
| Queen Mother Champion Chase Winner | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| El Fabiolo | 1/3 | 75.0% |
| Edwardstone | 11/2 | 15.4% |
| Captain Guinness | 17/2 | 10.5% |
| Elixir De Nutz | 25/1 | 3.8% |
