Welcome along to the show, I'm Emish Kennedy, great to have your company and great to have the company of one of the best in the business as well.

Author of the Cheltenham Festival Bedding Guide, and more importantly for right now, whether these horses to follow, it's Paul Ferguson, welcome back to the show, sir.

Hi Emish, good to be back.

Good to have your company, my man. I have been reading your excellent book. I can now say I have actually been reading the superb jumpers to follow, and you can too.

If you haven't got your copy yet, head up weatherbeast.co.uk, you can buy it for Ireland through the Euros, and of course, starting price of, I think it's 1250s, that right, 1295?

It's for nothing.

12 pounds, 95, but you don't have to pay 12 pounds, 95, because you get yourself a final for a long podcast, gravy train discount, by typing in this code, FFJTF23, all lowercase.

So final for a long jumpers to follow, 23, FFJTF23, all lowercase, get yourself three pounds off your copy of the book right now, or you can get the digital copy, which is even cheaper.

You still get three pounds off that, or the bundle, where you get the book, the digital copy, which you can have on your iPad, your tablet, whatever you want, and the actual paperback version of the book as well.

What can final for a long podcast listeners expect in your excellent book this year, Paul Ferguson?

Well, if you've read it before, it's a similar format to the past couple of years.

I was the first main section of the book as my 40 leading prospects, which is no more obvious than others.

Plenty of them are lightly raised, bump horses going overhead, also the first time, included quite a lot of handicaps this year, horses that will hopefully be going novice handicap chasing, a fair of the 20 horses from Ireland.

And the around the arts section looks at any number of yards, often down the UK, and they're actually my opinion on the horses and those some people think that they are the comments of the trainers, but they're actually my views of each stable.

The people who have contributed are the jockeys, and they've got six jockeys this year, new to the book is Harry Cobden.

Regulars are Sean Brown, Brown Hughes, John Jordan, Neil Junia, Nick Sulfield, and Harry Skeleton, so there's excellent content from six to the best jockeys about.

There's plenty more in every nine goals, taking a look at petty reason things, obviously they'll look at the top end races with the more familiar names, and hopefully there's plenty in there for those who like all kinds of different things.

There's been a bit of statistics at the back as the child of festival bed.

Any true to the rumor that Norval is the one who did the statistics for you?

No, I did them all myself.

Really? He didn't contribute in any way?

Nope.
