The artist who designed the Movember mural at Sandown Park has designed a new work dedicated to the legendary racehorse Sprinter Sacre - winner of the Tingle Creek Chase in 2012.

Olivier Roubieu, was invited by the racecourse to design the mural as part of the Tingle Creek Christmas Festival.

The festival takes place at the Esher racecourse on Friday and Saturday, December 6 and 7, with a Victorian Christmas theme and horseracing.

Mr Roubieu said: “Having not worked at a racecourse before I enjoyed the challenge of creating a life-sized racehorse and I hope to be there on Tingle Creek Chase day to enjoy what I’ve heard is a festive day of fun and top class racing.”

There will be a range of activities over both days and on the Saturday there will be children’s entertainment including a pantomime, the opportunity to meet Santa and carol singing.
