Grugy takes Tingle Creek in style

Sire De Grugy made the most of the absence of Sprinter Sacre to run out an impressive winner of the BetVictor Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown for the father and son combination of Gary and Jamie Moore.

Always held in the highest regard by trainer Gary, the seven-year-old had been surprisingly beaten at Cheltenham last month, but put that blip right in emphatic style.

Kauto Stone led for a long way, but with Captain Conan never far away, and the latter jumped two out in front.

Moore jnr was forced to switch wide turning for home on 7/4 joint-favourite Sire De Grugy but soon collared his fellow market leader and stormed clear after the last to beat the running-on Somersby by four lengths.
