Tingle Creek Chase 2020 ante-post bet
Following Monday's confirmation stage I have backed Altior for the Grade One Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown this weekend and have 10-11 ante-post. Beaten just once in his sixteen starts over fences, when tried over 2m5f last season, the four-time Cheltenham Festival hero will look to regain his crown having won the race back in 2018. It is always a worry backing one that has had a few difficulties returning after a lay-off but I honestly think Altior at 85% match-fitness can beat this field; especially back at a track he loves and his optimum distance.
Last year's Tingle Creek winner Defi Du Seuil has been taken out so the biggest danger appears 2017 winner Politologue, who of course won the Champion Chase (Altior absent) on his last appearance back in March.
