Summary

It’s a weekend packed with clues, class and value — and The Final Furlong Podcast team is ready. Emmet Kennedy is joined by George Gorman, Andy Newton and Jake Wilkes to preview a brilliant few days of racing — headlined by the Group 1 Boylesports Lockinge Stakes, where the team is split: one is swinging for an 18/1 outsider, while another is supremely confident in a 4/1 play. In the always-intriguing Trade Nation London Gold Cup Handicap, George believes he’s found a "handicap plot", and Andy makes the same horse his next best bet at 7/1. We then turn to Naas on Sunday, where potential Royal Ascot contenders are on show — and Jake lands on a double-figure priced selection he’s extremely bullish about. The team also reacts to the latest curveball in the Derby picture: The Lion In Winter’s defeat. Can Aidan O’Brien pull another late rabbit out of the hat after yet another first-time flop? 🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple & all major podcast platforms📺 Watch the full episode on YouTube Form Tools: Proform is the essential tool for punters looking to make money from betting on Horse Racing.

0:12.2	Welcome to the Final Furlong podcast in our second weekend preview.
0:15.2	We've already done a preview for the Preakness with two of our favorite American pundits.
0:18.7	They have got a 20 to one shot for their trifect and an 8 to 1 banker on the undercard.
0:23.7	We've got George Gorman, Andy Newton, and Jake Wilkes here to preview the best of Saturday's action.
0:29.3	We'll touch on a little bit of the Irish racing on Sunday as well.
0:33.0	I think we're going to hold the reaction to the line in winter a little bit later on.
0:35.7	We'll just go straight to finding you as many winners as possible, shall we? 1250, Newbury's where we're going to kick it off.
0:41.7	It's the 1 Mile 4 Sky Sports Racing, Ashton Park Stakes to Group 3, 8 runners, the dead 8 as things stand.
0:47.7	Going as you would expect is good. It might even be good to firm as we get closer to the race day, but I'm sure they'll water at Newbury, and King's Gambit is your favorite. Five to two is the price with William Hill and some other bookmakers around. He's going to
0:58.2	take quite a bit of beating. He was a winner in this card in the London Gold Cup a year ago. Hasn't
1:02.5	won since that race, to be fair, but, well, all the changes. First time blinkers. First time Ryan Moore. First run of the season in the UK.
1:12.1	His most recent run in the Middle East behind Rebels Romance looks well in the context of this race.
1:15.6	More importantly, George, so does that run behind Los Angeles and Illinois, who have both
1:19.4	franked it this season. Surely he's a banker for the Lucky 31, Lucky 63.
1:26.0	Yeah, you say you've got King's Gambit with all the firsts.
1:29.6	You've got somewhere in El Cordobez,
1:31.7	a sort of, like on the improved, like slightly less race than some of these.
1:37.3	Technically the best in at the weights is Courage Mon Ami,
