Simonsig to return to fences in Tingle Creek

Simonsig is set to return to fences in the Tingle Creek at Sandown next month after making a pleasing return from injury at Aintree on Saturday.

The nine-year-old grey had to settle for second place behind his Nicky Henderson-trained stablemate Bobs Worth in the Betfred Hurdle on his first start since he won the Arkle Trophy at Cheltenham in March 2013.

“They’ve both come back fine. I would have thought that the Tingle Creek is the race for Simonsig,” said Henderson.
