14:30 Cheltenham - 16 December 2017 - Results - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

The unbeaten Equus Secretus will be keen to get on with things here and showed a willing attitude at Southwell last time when a question was asked. He isn't dismissed easily but COUNT MERIBEL has improved with each start this season and count solid hurdling amongst his assets. His trainer remains in good form and he could be capable of halting Ben Pauling's charge now. Global Stage and Kilbricken Storm are potential improvers, though they'll need to do just that to land the spoils.
  1. Count Meribel
  2. Equus Secretus
  3. Kilbricken Storm
