Jonbon Set for Tingle Creek Hat-Trick Bid as Il Etait Temps Clear Favorite

The Sandown Grade 1 is a key early-season marker for Champion Chase routes with conditions expected to hold.

Overview

  • Trainer Nicky Henderson confirmed Jonbon is heading to Sandown for Saturday’s Betfair Tingle Creek, keeping a Huntingdon entry as a fallback as the nine-year-old chases a third straight win in the race.
  • Betfair Sportsbook lists Il Etait Temps odds-on at 8-13, with L’Eau Du Sud at 2-1 and Jonbon at 9-2, reflecting recent form and Sandown credentials.
  • L’Eau Du Sud arrives after a decisive Shloer Chase victory over Jonbon and previously scored at this meeting in last year’s Henry VIII Novices’ Chase.
  • Six horses were confirmed for the Tingle Creek, with Boothill, Libberty Hunter and Edwardstone joining Il Etait Temps, L’Eau Du Sud and Jonbon.
  • Sandown clerk Andrew Cooper does not expect the going to worsen, and Henderson’s Lulamba is set for the Grade 1 Henry VIII Novices’ Chase on the undercard.
