Seasons Holidays seal Creek contract

Seasons Holidays have signed a two-year deal to sponsor the Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown.

The sponsorship is in conjunction with Seasons Holidays’ backing of the Queen Mother Champion Chase at the Cheltenham Festival.

Paul Nicholls last year won the Grade One in Esher with Twist Magic and will prime Master Minded for the December 6 heat this time around.

The Ditcheat handler said: “It is fantastic for National Hunt racing that Seasons Holidays are extending their association with the sport.

“I hope that I will be collecting the 2008 Seasons Holidays Tingle Creek Chase Trophy.

“Master Minded will be aimed at the race.”

Barry Hurley, chairman of Seasons Holidays, added: “We are delighted to be extending our horseracing association with the dual sponsorship of jump racing’s finest two-mile contests.”
