Cross Country Chase Betting Odds
On the back of a strong third placed finish with a lot of weight on his back, Delta Work is the strong favourite to win the Cross Country Chase, as he bids to follow up his win in the race last year.
to Behind him, from the same stable, is Galvin, who adds an intriguing element
What Happened in 2022?
We had a thrilling finish, and almost the perfect career ending for Tiger Roll in the 2022 Cross Country Chase, but sadly it wasn’t to be.
The 12-year-old was running in his last race, looking for his sixth Cheltenham Festival win, but went down by three quarters of a length, to stablemate Delta Work. It was a brave effort from Tiger Roll, who bowed out from the sport as a legend, and a great performance from Delta Work, who really impressed over this course.
