The runners have been declared for the Grade 1 Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown on December 6th 2025.And it’s the Shloer Chase victor, L’Eau du Sud, part-owned by Sir Alex Ferguson who will likely be amongst the top contenders of the market.L’Eau Du Sud will be a huge contender for the Tingle Creek Chase, but who will be the favourite?Alan Crowhurst/Getty ImagesJonbon is also amongst those standout declared runners, after winning the 2024 renewal but also being beaten on his stable debut last weekend at Cheltenham’s November Meeting.The Nicky Henderson-trained horse was fortunate to place second as it looked for a brief moment it could be his first ever placing outside the top three in a Grade 1 contest.Had it not been for Matata almost unseating JJ Slevin, Nico De Boinville would have had to settle for the third behind the mare and the impressive L’Eau du Sud.Tingle Creek Chase Declared RunnersBoothillEdwardstoneGidleigh ParkIl Etait TempsJonbonL’Eau du SudLibberty HunterOnly By NightSolnessJonbon finished 15 lengths behind the grey Skelton-trained gelding at an SP of 5/6, but it’s Il Etait Temps who will be the big favourite on the day.The Willie Mullins-trained horse won over course and distance in the bet365 Celebration Chase in April, also beating Jonbon on the day by over five lengths.In fact, the progressive seven-year-old has extended his tally to six wins from eight over fences.He had a nice run out at Clonmel for his seasonal debut when 2/9 favourite and can now focus on these Grade 1 meetings on just his second season over fences.It will be a great battle if Jonbon is back to his best for his second run, along with the clearly improved L’Eau du Sud.Many will be backing in the grey again so it will be interesting to see if his Shloer Chase form was as impressive as it looked if he can take it to Il Etait Temps.The sport has certainly lacked a competitive edge when it came to 2 mile chasers, but this one with two progressive seven-year-olds coming up against the mighty Jonbon along with a few others makes this all the more exciting to see who can come out on top.Can Jonbon get revenge on both Il Etait Temps and L’eau Du Sud, or will one of those claim the crown and set themselves further apart for the upcoming Grade 1s this winter?talkSPORT BET Boosted Favourites30 minutes before the start of every UK & IRE race, we are boosting either the favourite or 2nd fav to win!Get the latest price boosts here18+.
