'We aren't backing out' - Dan Skelton is on fire and has L'Eau Du Sud primed for Tingle Creek blockbuster

Dan Skelton attempts to continue his remarkable run of big-race success with L'Eau Du Sud primed for a star-studded clash with Il Etait Temps and Jonbon in the Betfair Tingle Creek Chase on Saturday.
After dominating the early part of the season, Skelton turns to L'Eau Du Sud to provide him with a fourth major weekend winner in a row at Sandown, following Panic Attack's wins in the Paddy Power Gold Cup and Coral Gold Cup either side of Grey Dawning's Betfair Chase victory.
Skelton, who has surged more than £900,000 clear in the British trainers' title race, has eyes on another valuable prize with L'Eau Du Sud, who comfortably beat dual Tingle Creek winner Jonbon in last month's Shloer Chase.
