Realt Dubh, the most prominent Irish-trained runner in the ante-post market for the Irish Independent Arkle Chase on the opening day of the Cheltenham Festival, is almost certain to take his chance in the two-mile contest instead of tackling the longer Jewson
Novices' Chase later on at the four-day fixture, writes Elliot Slater.

Noel Meade's upwardly mobile novice chaser has enjoyed a highly successful season, winning four of his six outings including his last two starts,
both at Grade 1 level. Far from disgraced when last seen at the Cheltenham Festival in 2009 where he finished seventh behind the high-class Mikael d'Haguenet in the Ballymore Novices' Hurdle, Realt Dubh seems to have really found his niche since switching to the larger obstacles in
September.
After winning a Navan beginners chase the seven-year-old was disputing the lead at the fourth last in a Galway Grade 3 event when coming to grief. He soon remedied that disappointment by landing a Grade 2 event at Punchestown three weeks later, easily beating Gates of Rome by
six-lengths. Stepped up to Grade 1 company at Fairyhouse in mid-December, Realt Dubh finished a close second to Jessies Dream then went one better at Leopardstown a fortnight later in beating Noble Prince by five-lengths to land his first top level success and those
analyzing the
Cheltenham betting
will have been impressed by the performance.
In a re-run of the Leopardstown race just over three weeks later, the Beneficial gelding just held on from Noble Prince by a short-head to put himself spot on to go to Cheltenham. After working at Leopardstown racecourse on
February 28, Meade reported Realt Dubh to be in great shape and strongly hinted that he had decided to go for the Arkle Chase and bypass the 'Jewson' race over a longer trip.
Realt Dubh is currently 9/1 fourth favourite in the 'Arkle' ante-post list headed by 9/2 joint-favourites Medermit and Finian's Rainbow
