Alan King’s Arkle hero Edwardstone marked himself out as a Champion Chase contender as he lowered the colours of defending champion Greaneteen and Shishkin in the Betfair Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown.
The eight-year-old – who ended the Barbury Castle handler’s seven-year Cheltenham Festival drought in March – had hitherto had a frustrating season, missing intended engagements in both the Shloer Chase at Cheltenham and in handicap company at Ascot the following weekend on account of unsuitably quick ground.
However, he proved well worth the wait and having been smuggled into contention by big-race pilot Tom Cannon, showed a frightening turn of foot once tackling Greaneteen at the second-last and stormed clear up the Sandown hill to record an emphatic nine-length success at 5-1, with Shishkin another six lengths back in third.
It was Edwardstone’s second win on Sandown’s pre-Christmas card, following up last year’s victory in the Henry VIII Novices’ Chase with more Grade One glory, and King finally gets his hands on the trophy having finished second with Voy Por Ustedes in both 2006 and 2007 and then saddling Kumbeshwar to chase home Sprinter Sacre in 2012.
“The Tingle Creek has always been on of my favourite races and the horse it is named after helped me get interested in the sport. I’ve finished second in it three times before today, and it’s one of the most emotional wins I’ve had in my career.”

What a turn of foot from second last click like who agrees 🇬🇧👍🏻
Shishkin looks like has zero confidence now and it's a shame the horse has never recovered from blowing a gasket courtesy of Energumene. Edwardstone ran well but when it comes to Champion chase – looks like it's a no contest.
The best jumper in training. He brushes every fence. Laser accurate.

Willie sits back and laughs
Alan King is so refreshing, his honesty needs to be copied by racing authorities. His old mentor was David Nicholson….what a grounding , well done Team King
Class act our Alan is
The boys feathers across the water are getting ruffled after the dodging comments I see

I wonder if the Clarence house may have taken its toll in the race against Energumene in the same way as the match of Altior against Cyername ?
Sometimes i think that when Horses have had a really hard race and been to the bottom of the barrel they aren’t quite the same again
And they compared shishkin to Energumene 😂😂😂jokers
Shishkin needs further now. He’s done at that trip. Edward Stone is the new star!
Sad to see shiskins demise
Great,I backed edwardstone, also forecast with greenateen,. Shishkin not as good nowadays started fav, edwardstone will come on a million for this,. Champion chaser maybe?😄 Happy days
Shishkin was always a stayer,, the way he won his supreme,, that's not a 2mile chaser… I'm happy that he flopped and didn't win… now I hope they go for Ryanair this year and king George and gold cup next year 👍
