Get ready for Chacun Pour Soi to turn it on in fast and furious Tingle Creek
Sandown hosts several big meetings during the year on the Flat and over jumps, but it’s Tingle Creek Chase day that holds a special place in many racegoers’ hearts.

Some would argue there is no better sight in racing than a specialist, top-class two-mile chaser tackling Sandown’s Railway fences at the high speed and intensity for which the race is known, and a small but select field this year is headed by the richly talented – albeit fragile – big-name Irish raider Chacun Pour Soi.
