Summary

The Punchestown Festival roars into action — and The Final Furlong Podcast team is ready. Emmet Kennedy is joined by Adam Mills, Liam Firkin, Jamie Wrenn, and George Gorman to preview a blockbuster Day 1, featuring the clash of Cheltenham heroes Marine Nationale and Fact To File in the William Hill Champion Chase. But who do the team expect to come out on top — or could an outsider flip the script? In the Dooley Insurance Group Champion Novice Chase, Ballyburn looks to bounce back after his Cheltenham disappointment — but should he even be favourite? One panel member flags a 12/1 shot to cause an upset, while another makes a powerful case for a 5/1 rival. And in the KPMG Champion Novice Hurdle, can Kopek Des Bordes land another big prize — or is he vulnerable? One Final Furlong regular thinks it's time to take him on. Full betting previews, strong opinions, and best bets for Punchestown Day 1 — don’t miss it. 🎧 Available now on Spotify, Apple & all podcast platforms The Final Furlong Podcast is proudly brought to you by Geoff Banks Bet.
