Can Nicholls Do It Again At Tingle Creek?

Paul Nicholls has become the unstoppable machine of British horse racing with wins flying out of his stables left, right and centre and have no doubt, he’s not about to let the Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown on Saturday 5th December pass him by either.

His outstanding record for this race means that he’s hoping to clinch the Grade 1 for the fifth year running, despite not being able to call on Master Minded who would have been his best hope but is currently injured.

Instead he’s going with Twist Magic and Free World with great optimism about their prospects in a race that has drawn many of the main rivals in the field including Big Zeb and Well Chief.

At the moment there are 11 runners still in contention following Petit Robin’s withdrawal but it will all depend on the weather over the next couple of days before we can be really sure of who’s going to line up. At the moment it looks like this with Paddy Power Bookmakers…

• Big Zeb 13/8
• Twist Magic 3/1
• Well Chief 4/1
• Forpadydeplasterer 8/1
• Barker 10/1
• Crack Away Jack 12/1
• Tidal Bay 20/1
• Mahogany Blaze 25/1
• Fix The Rib 25/1
• Free World 25/1
• Newmill 50/1
