Show Notes

The Road has nearly reached its destination and Lydia Hislop and Ruby Walsh are back this week to provide an alternative look ahead to the Cheltenham Festival.

The pair chat to Patrick and Eddie Harty about stable star Irish Panther who could run in either the Arkle or the Champion Chase. Breeder Will Kinsey discusses his excitement ahead of Romeo Coolio's potential run at the meeting, whilst Teahupoo's groom Erika Peciulyte tells us more ahead of his fifth run at the Festival.

Perhaps the most interesting insight comes from trainer Declan Queally who waxes lyrical about the chances of Carrigmornaspruce in the Mares' Novice Hurdle.

Dan Barber dissects the Timeform data, Tristan Durrell discusses team Skelton and there's Foxhunters' discussion with Kelly Morgan who is set to saddle Music Drive in the race.

Thanks as always to our sponsors Paddy Power.
