Summary

Emmet Kennedy is joined by Adam Mills and Liam Firkin to break down every Cheltenham Festival clue from the Dublin Racing Festival at Leopardstown. With Festival markets heating up, this is a must-listen for punters, fans, and insiders alike! Here’s what’s coming up: 🎯 Is Cheltenham betting easier this year? With so many dominant favorites and second-favorites lining up, Emmet and the team discuss whether punters have an edge this time around or if surprises could still lie ahead. 🏆 Galopin Des Champs does it again! His third Irish Gold Cup win cements his place among the all-time greats. The question is: with his class, stamina, and tactical versatility, can anything stop him from becoming just the fifth-ever triple Gold Cup winner? 🤔 Solness sparks controversy. RTE’s Hugh Cahill questioned why rival jockeys allowed Danny Mullins and Solness a 20-length lead. But Davy Russell and expert pundits fired back, saying Solness wasn’t gifted the win—he earned it with a relentless pace. Sectionals reveal the truth. 🔥 Adam Mills is all-in on a novice with big Cheltenham potential, while Liam Firkin reveals a 16/1 ante post bet that could shake up the Festival landscape. 🚨 State Man Watch: State Man didn’t seem himself in the Irish Champion Hurdle, but why? Where does her fall leave Lossiemouth? Should she target the Mares’ Hurdle or take a shot at the Champion Hurdle? 🌟 Novice Stars: We dissect major performances from Kopek Des Bordes, Final Demand, Ballyburn, Majborough, and Hello Neighbour—all key Festival contenders.
