Tatenen set for Arkle

Ante-post favourite Tatenen is one of five entries for champion trainer Paul Nicholls in the Irish Independent Arkle Chase at the Cheltenham Festival.

Nicholls has won the two-mile event twice in recent years with Flagship Uberalles (1999) and Azertyuiop (2003) and Tatenen, a wide-margin winner at Prestbury Park earlier in the year, remains his number one hope.
