Summary

Emmet Kennedy is joined by Lizzie Kelly and Jamie Wrenn for one of the most forensic, data-rich, insight-heavy National Hunt deep dives we’ve ever done. If you follow the Champion Chase, Arkle, Ryanair, Baring Bingham, or Brown Advisory markets — this episode is essential listening. 🟥 TINGLE CREEK CHASE — Il Etait Temps Takes Over? Jamie breaks down the times, sectionals, stride patterns and finishing effort to ask:Has Il Etait Temps just become the horse to beat in the Champion Chase? We evaluate: • Why the race was five seconds slower than the Henry VIII • Whether raw time matters when a horse is travelling like a “passenger jet” • Jonbon: beaten nine lengths — now a 2m4f horse? • L’Eau Du Sud: three Grade 1 failures… ceiling reached? • Cheltenham concern: Il Etait Temps’ festival record (553) • Are 3/1 and 11/4 Champion Chase quotes value or insanity? Lizzie provides the jockey’s perspective: Townend’s decisive move, footwork at the railway fences, Jonbon’s body language, and why small horses can jump like machines. Panel debates: Is Il Etait Temps now ahead of Marine Nationale and Majborough? Is Jonbon done at 2 miles? Is the Champion Chase wide open — or just weak? 🟦 HILLY WAY CHASE — Majborough’s Issues Return • Was Found A Fifty’s jumping the decisive factor? • Did Majborough’s left lean cost him more than fitness did? • Why Energumene’s return tells us more than the result • Is Found A Fifty wildly underrated at 14/1–25/1? Lizzie assesses Majborough’s jumping psychology, the challenge of a raw engine, and the mental impact of a hard fall. Panel debates: Majborough: Champion Chase or Ryanair? Is Found A Fifty the most underrated chaser in Ireland? 🟫 PETERBOROUGH CHASE — DJELO Steps Forward Jamie analyses Djelo’s pressure-induced mistakes from rivals and whether 12/1 for the King George is a gift or a trap. Lizzie explains how a horse feels when they genuinely “stay and travel.” Panel debates: Is Djelo a Grade 1 horse — or a soft-ground bully? 🟩 HENRY VIII NOVICES’ CHASE — Lulamba’s Arkle Statement Lulamba clocked a time 5 seconds quicker than the Tingle Creek. Jamie asks: Does he deserve to be joint-fav for the Arkle? Lizzie breaks down the greenness, the ride, and the railway-fence learning curve. Panel debates: Would you rather ride Lulamba or Kopek Des Bordes? 🟧 KALA CONTI, SALVER, PREDATORS GOLD & MORE We assess the next wave of future stars: • Kala Conti — is she already a Mares’ Chase favourite? • Salver — Brown Advisory player or still too raw? • Predators Gold — Grade 1 novice after nearly two years off?
