Quote:
SANCTUAIRE made it three wins from three starts over fences by destroying his rivals at Sandown on Saturday.
Trained by Paul Nicholls, Sanctuaire had dominated in two little races since switched to fences and being allowed to use his natural exuberance to lead the field. He was sent straight to the front by Daryl Jacob and a massive leap at the second fencewas the first of many tremendous jumps by the winner.

THE enigmatic Tidal Bay, given a brilliant ride by Daryl Jacob, defied top weight to score a decisive success in the final big chase of the season.
The Paul Nicholls-trained 11-year-old, who has flattered to deceive on so many occasions, came good this time to land his first win in almost two and a half years.
Sent off at 9-1, he took the lead at the last from Roalco De Farges (7-1) and surged clear to win by 15 lengths. Any Currency (16-1) was another seven lengths back in third and Vic Venturi (25-1) fourth.
