Summary

With the new National Hunt season on the horizon, Emmet Kennedy is joined by top jockey James Bowen and racing pundit James Woods to preview the leading two-mile, intermediate, and staying chasers through the prism of the Cheltenham Festival ante post markets. After Galopin Des Champs' defeat at Punchestown, we ask if Willie Mullins' star is still the one to beat in the Gold Cup and if not, who is likely to be his significant threat. Bravemansgame will bid for back-to-back King George wins, but Shishkin is eyeing his crown as the old enemies Nicholls and Henderson look set for an epic clash. Should Jonbon try two miles again this season, or does his future lie over a greater distance, with his ultimate aim being the Ryanair or even the Gold Cup? Plus, James Bowen gives us some fascinating insight into what it's like to ride work on Constitution Hill, describes his personality at Seven Barrows, and discusses whether it should be hurdles or fences for Nicky's superstar this season.
