Betfair Tingle Creek Festival promises two days of top jumps racing

The Betfair Tingle Creek Festival kicks off on Friday 6 December with a six-race card, headlined by the Grade Two Winter Novices' Hurdle over two-and-a-half miles.

Then it's Betfair Tingle Creek Saturday with two Grade One races on the card - the Henry VIII Novices' Chase and the feature race discussed above.

Betfair spokesman, Barry Orr, commented today: ''Following his winning seasonal debut at Cheltenham on Friday it's no surprise to see last year's winner, Jonbon, heading the market at 1/21.50.

"Ten entries is a decent number though and the Fortria winner, Found A Fifty, is an improving up-and-comer who may give him something to think about.''
