Sprinter Sacre ran out an easy winner in the Atteys Solicitors Novices' Chase at Doncaster on his chase debut on Friday.

Victor Chandler cut Nicky Henderson's superstar from 8s to 6/1 for the Arkle at the Cheltenham Festival after a terrific round of jumping at Doncaster. Watch a replay of the race in the bet365 racing archive now, found in bet365 extra.

The five-year-old returned the 2.9 favourite and a delighted Henderson explained: "I hate to say it's what I expected, but from what I'd seen at home he's frightening, seriously good.

"I just wanted to get him on a racecourse, otherwise he'd just have to stay at home and I thought this would give us enough time to go to Kempton (on December 27th).

"He's a real two-miler and there wasn't much about for him at the moment."

VC spoesperson Charlie McCann was impressed and explained to Bettingpro: "If Peddlers Cross, Al Ferof and Sprinter Sacre all get to Cheltenham in March it promises to be the race of the Festival as Sprinter Sacre could hardly have been more impressive."
