Nicky Henderson in no rush to commit Sprinter Sacre to Tingle Creek

Nicky Henderson has confirmed Sprinter Sacre’s main target will be to try to regain his Queen Mother Champion Chase crown.

The Seven Barrows trainer will “work backwards” from the two-mile championship, which Sprinter Sacre won in 2013 before suffering well-documented heart and back problems.

As a result, Henderson is no immediate hurry to decide whether Sprinter Sacre runs in the Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown on December 5, where he could face stablemate Simonsig, following his return to winning ways with a 14-length win over Somersby in the Shloer Chase at Cheltenham on Sunday.
