Eustace on verge of greatness

Hardy Eustace will bid to join the racing greats at Cheltenham tomorrow when he goes for glory in the Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle.

Only Hatton’s Grace, Sir Ken, Persian War, See You Then and Istabraq have managed three triumphs in the blue riband and Dessie Hughes’ star is a 6-1 chance to join that elite group.
