Run over 2m, the Tingle Creek Chase will be staged this year at Sandown Park racecourse on 6th December and is always seen as a good guide to the Queen Mother Champion Chase run at the Cheltenham Festival later in the season.
With Master Minded (2008), Moscow Flyer (2004), Sprinter Sacre (2012), Sire de Grugy (2013), Dodging Bullets (2014) and Altior (2018) the last horses to do the Tingle Creek/Champion Chase double in the same season.
Paul Nicholls has won the Tingle Creek a massive 12 times, while the Nicky Henderson-trained Jonbon has won the last two renewals.
Here at Geegeez, we take a look back at recent winners and gives you the key Tingle Creek trends to look out for ahead of the 2025 renewal - run on Saturday 6th December.
