Sprinter Sacre and Sanctuaire all set to thunder through the Sportingbet Tingle Creek Chase

Sportingbet Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown. The race will also serve as the first high scale rivalry between the two over two miles ever since the 2012 campaign shot in.
The entries that they have saved for the feature event are, Sprinter Sacre, who will be representing trainer, Nicky Henderson, while on the very opposite end Sanctuaire has secured chances for the genius trainer, Paul Nicholls.
The predictions before the race are in the favour of six-year-old bay/brown gelding, Sprinter Sacre. He has set immaculate lines to his own league which highlights his unbeaten form ever since his novice season. His form as a chaser suits him far more than
any other contests he had been a part of previously.

Paired up with jockey, David Bass, the favourite entry defeated Lightening Rod by twenty-four lengths.
Ever since then he has never looked back and has never missed the truly deserved trips to the winner’s enclosure riding in the highly capable hands of the jockey, Barry Geraghty.

Kendor’s French gelding secured his most valuable accomplishment by bagging the winner’s prize money in the in the Grade 2 bet365.com Celebration Chase on 28th April, 2012 at Sandown race course.
