Gaelic Warrior wins Arkle Novices’ Chase at Cheltenham

The Cheltenham Festival 2025 began with the Arkle Novices’ Chase, where Gaelic Warrior, ridden by Paul Townend, won last year. The full results of the race are pending. This year, ITV1 will broadcast the first six races of each day for free, a change from previous years when the final two races were not aired. Viewers can also stream the coverage via the ITVX app. Racing TV will provide complete coverage of the festival, but a subscription is required. SunSport will offer live updates for all races throughout the event.
