The Tingle Creek Chase is a Grade 1 chase run over two miles at Sandown Park, with 13 fences to be negotiated.
One of the last Grade 1 jump races in the UK before Christmas, it’s an important race for horses aiming to contest the Queen Mother Champion Chase at the Cheltenham Festival.
It’s a race that has been won by some of the best two-mile chasers in history and has been a happy hunting ground for trainer Paul Nicholls, who has saddled the winner of the Tingle Creek a staggering 12 times, most recently with Greaneteen in 2021.
This year’s Tingle Creek Chase will be run on Saturday, December 9, and will be shown live on ITV Racing, with five runners set to go to post.
The favourite is the JP McManus-owned Jonbon, who made a successful reappearance when landing the Shloer Chase at Cheltenham three weeks ago.
Second at Cheltenham that day was Edwardstone, who reopposes here, and who will be keen to reverse the form in a race that he won in 2022.
