Christmas comes early for horse racing fans at Sandown Park on Saturday when there’s a mouth-watering clash between SPRINTER SACRE and SANCTUAIRE in the Tingle Creek Chase.

We all love a sporting head to head, no matter the sport, whether it’s: Barcelona v Real Madrid, England v Australia in the Ashes, or Europe v USA in the Ryder Cup.

This is horse racing’s version…

Both horses are unbeaten over fences, just 3lb separates them on official ratings, and it’s an early season battle between Nicky Henderson (trainer of Sprinter Sacre) and Paul Nicholls (trainer of Sanctuaire).

Our BETDAQ TIPS pundits DONN McCLEAN and DAQMAN are also doing battle in the race and take opposing views. Both argue their respective cases.
