William Hill ambassador Nick Luck offers his insights on the December Meeting at Cheltenham, highlighting several key runners. Iberico Lord is a somewhat risky pick in the opener but could perform well given a drop in class and favorable conditions. King Turgeon aims to defend his feature chase title, showing signs of improvement after a breathing operation and benefiting from a weight advantage. Fugitif is favored in the Veterans’ race, with a suitable mark and potential to reverse recent form.

Luck also points to Latenightpass as a strong contender in the Cross Country race, noting his affinity for the course and recent fitness improvements. Lastly, Everyonesgame is suggested as a value each-way bet in the final race, with potential for progress under new training and a significantly reduced handicap mark compared to his peak.
