The Arkle Challenge Trophy is a grade one national hunt steeplechase raced at the Cheltenham Festival. The race takes place on the Old Course at Cheltenham Racecourse, over a distance of 2 miles. Competitors are required to clear 12 fences during the race.
The Arkle Challenge Trophy is open to 5 year old and above novice chasers. The relatively short distance raced makes it one of the faster paced steeplechase events run at the Cheltenham Festival.

The Arkle Challenge Trophy was first raced in 1946 as the Cotswold Chase. The event was renamed in 1969 to honour Arkle, the legendary Irish racehorse who won three Cheltenham Gold Cups in his career.
The Arkle Challenge Trophy has proved to be something of a nursery for Queen Mother Champion Chase winners, with seven winners of the race going on to win the Queen Mother Champion Chase, including Moscow Flyer and Voy Por Ustedes.
