The Tingle Creek Chase is a Grade 1 Jump chase which is open to horses aged four years or older. It is run over a distance of about 2 miles (3,219 metres)¹ with thirteen fences to be jumped. The race is scheduled to take place each year in early December and this year the 2011 Tingle Creek Chase will take place on Saturday 3rd December.
The event was first run in 1979, and it was named in honour of Tingle Creek, a popular Jump racehorse in the 1970s. Tingle Creek had a particularly good record in races at Sandown Park.
¹The 2000 and 2010 runnings took place at Cheltenham over a distance of 2m 110yd.
