D-Day for Tingle line-up

ANTE-POST punters still face a confused picture ahead of Saturday’s paddypower.com Tingle Creek Chase, with Paul Nicholls no closer to finalising running plans for his major players at Sandown.

The champion trainer is likely to saddle Hoo La Baloo, but no decision will be made regarding the participation of Twist Magic or Kauto Star until the 11th hour.

Nicholls previously put Twist Magic forward as a prime candidate for the race, but has voiced concerns about unleashing that one on soft ground.
