Summary

Emmet Kennedy, Adam Mills, Liam Firkin, Jamie Wrenn, and George Gorman preview the action for Days 2, 3, 4, and 5 — including the Ladbrokes Punchestown Gold Cup, where the team explain why they’re taking on Galopin Des Champs and who they’re siding with instead. We debate whether Bambino Fever can stay unbeaten in the Champion Bumper — and why the whole team agrees she’s vulnerable.We’re also unanimous on taking on Jasmin De Vaux in the Channor Real Estate Novice Hurdle — and reveal the best bet to do it. In the Champion Stayers Hurdle, Jamie, George, and Liam are siding with a 16/1 outsider to take down Teahupoo!We cover every major race, including:🏆 Barberstown Castle Novice Chase🏆 Alanna Homes Champion Novice Hurdle (where we may have found the bet of the festival)🏆 Ballymore 4yo Hurdle & Mares Champion Hurdle Plus, Constitution Hill makes his Irish debut in the Boodles Champion Hurdle — but can you trust him after two falls? We think there’s major value elsewhere. The Final Furlong Podcast is proudly brought to you by Geoff Banks Bet.
