Show Notes
After a short hiatus over the Christmas period, The Racing Edge team are back to assess the winners and losers from a crucial window of National Hunt action. Mark Costello and Anne Marie Duff join Mark Boylan to discuss Gordon Elliott’s potential trainers’ title bid, and look back at the major talking points from his festive bonanza. What race do the team expect Romeo Coolio will line up in at the Cheltenham Festival? Is El Cairos in the driver’s seat for the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle? Can Brighterdaysahead turn the tables on Lossiemouth at the Dublin Racing Festival? Mark Costello looks into whether there could be value in following some of Willie Mullins beaten Christmas runners, Mark Boylan fancies the champion trainer to win the rescheduled Grade 1 Ballymore Novice Hurdle at Naas on Friday and Anne Marie Duff unearths some big-priced Cheltenham Festival fancies in the ante-post markets. The panel also rank the top three staying chasers in training after a hugely informative few days at Kempton, Leopardstown and Chepstow. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
