[@phawney1415]

Great show again lads, roll on Cheltenham. Just done my TTF Jump stables.

[@shaunoconnor1979]

Very excited indeed its better quality this year

[@LetsTalkRacing]

Looking forward to the season, Shaun!

[@shaunoconnor1979]

@@LetsTalkRacing me 2 lads,my wife doesn’t quite understand how I can love racing so much? But yet she comes to Cheltenham every year with and loves it 😂

[@TomLeach-dd8cl]

Completely agree with fiercely proud 👏 2nd too lump sum twice last season makes him look very well handicapped + the 8th in the Sandown ebf final looks good form . Pauling is firing in winners atm too

[@LetsTalkRacing]

Great form. Looks much the best in that race if fit 👌

[@musicmike1972]

With you on that too Tom - useful claimer taking 10 lb off as well...

[@TomLeach-dd8cl]

@musicmike1972 yh I'm not sure how good he is but 10lb is a big positive

[@musicmike1972]

@@TomLeach-dd8cl - I think he is OK, I backed Rebel Intentions last weekend and he was on the second at 33-1 and he had me worried for a moment. I don't think this race is that strong to be honest but we shall see.

[@deangripton2982]

Does He Know's win in the Grimthorpe last season off top weight was one of the best handicap performances by any horse last season. Absolutely demolished them.

[@crazyhorse562]

I am with you Andrew on MoonD"Orange,l took the 25/1 earlier in the week

[@jamesphelps6818]

Im on Strictlyadancer too Josh, thought the Chepstow run was better than the results. Hopefully see you lads about on the Saturday 👍👍

[@LetsTalkRacing]

Fingers crossed he goes close James. Like his first win there, I wouldn't mind if it looks like he's just joined in jumping 3-out!

[@Ben-v9u]

Great video! Can’t see midnight our fred lads… 🤔

[@The_Cheltenham_Bandit]

Great show gents... Andrew I hope you was on Booster Bob the other week at 8s?? Thought you'd have mentioned booster in the episode....I was on it as it stuck in my mind from previous years! #ItBoostedTheBandit

[@allansmith5489]

What's the Galway horse mentioned at the end? Sorry Andrew I'm a bit corned beef!

[@raystevenson9402]

Josh this is a worry my 2 best bets on Friday are Anna Bunnina and Strictlyadancer

[@LetsTalkRacing]

Sorry about that Ray... fingers crossed I don't jinx them too much!

[@Sih-88]

Brutal geansaí josh. 😂

[@potterendergaming5335]

In the air looks an interesting prospect.

[@tomgallagher7870]

Cmon jazzy matty

[@jerrysartain2539]

Great stuff lads..yeehaaa

[@LetsTalkRacing]

Thank you Jerry 👊

[@PuffaThePostie]

The thing you missed on Anna bunina is she must have decent ground The ground went against her in the ceasarewitch yet still run well I was on at 40/1 ew but didn’t get paid as she didn’t get 6th till the Tuesday 😡

[@robertwilliams9234]

Norman Fletcher in the last Friday

[@jerrysartain2539]

I have shares in Brave Knight and he will give the fav a race.

[@slotssnstuff]

really? dont be surprised if Cobden pulls your gelding up

[@TomLeach-dd8cl]

Watch the market . If he drifts he wont win .

[@TomLeach-dd8cl]

​@@slotssnstuffI'm not a Harry cobden fan tbh . Terrible Cheltenham record .

[@robp2282]

Really like him. Really like him!!

[@slotssnstuff]

@@TomLeach-dd8cl regardless, you've got a mare that has beaten some already incredible sorts. She made Peter Bowens FLYING FORTUNE look ordinary, he then went on to win the Grade 2 novices hurdle at Chepstow earlier this month by 7 lengths.... She's only got to concede 8lbs from BRAVE KNIGHT, who has beaten nothing overly special. At the weights I'd be more concerned about VALGRAND, who gets 17lbs from GALE MAHLER, i still think she beats him if the margin was 25lbs.

[@krismcstay1325]

Great show as always .....look out for down royal soon 😉😉😉

[@shaunoconnor1979]

She beat flying fortune and I really rate that horsec

[@LetsTalkRacing]

Great form that keeps getting better...

[@slotssnstuff]

I thought Alex Harvey had the leg up on Anna Bunina?

[@LetsTalkRacing]

My mistake mate. It is Alex Harvey!

[@jonathanmorrow3324]

Brilliant video lads, love it as always! I will put up my syndicate horse Will Carver ew 12-1 in the 1.15 Chelts on Sat if declared this morning 😊😉 Enjoy Chelts 🫡 cheers

[@LetsTalkRacing]

Thanks Jonathan! Good luck on Saturday 😃 What's the latest on him?

[@jonathanmorrow3324]

Won nicely on his chase debut at Cartmel in May. Looked like he was going to follow up at Uttoxeter at end of June until a bad blunder at 2nd last fence, race won by Risk intheground. Needs good ground, jumps well, top weight, goes well fresh, very hopeful ew place 😊😉 @@LetsTalkRacing

195 days till Christmas Day

[@garrymelia462]

I think fact to file will run in the Ryanair this year and here is why. It’s only his 2nd season jumping anything never mind running a gold cup. Also Mullins will want gallopin de champ winning 3 gold cups. He’s a strong jumper and galloper isn’t that just the same as Alaho who stayed 3 miles but destroyed Ryanair’s also vautour done the same as a 2nd season chaser. I maybe wrong but could you touch more on this in your own opinions. Thanks

[@deniswallace-vp9tb]

I think JP will want to run in the gold cup, he has iroko ,Jonbon, and about 3ir four others could run in Ryanair but I do agree he could win the Ryanair if he went there but I just see him as a genuine gold cup contender

[@garrymelia462]

@@deniswallace-vp9tb Jonbon goes champion chase. Corbetts cross and I am maximus will go gold cup. As they want 3 mile plus fact to files best run for me was vs Gaelic warrior over 2,5 he’s only 7. Plenty of gold cups in him after galopin does 3. Also don’t think he’d be in the first 2 in my eyes.

[@deniswallace-vp9tb]

@@garrymelia462 I agree Jonbon should go champion chase he's my idea of the winner, I am maximas has zero chance in a gold cup or Corbett's cross or I know the way you're thinking but fact to file has a realistic chance as you know you should never be scared of one or two horse's anything can happen in a race but listen that's just my option you could well be right protecterat done it last year and I'm happy to say I had a few quid on him

[@garrymelia462]

@@deniswallace-vp9tb I don’t see him staying 3,2. Montys Starr. Giovinco. And American Mike arnt gold cup form to me. Beating Gaelic warrior over 2,5. Galloping him into the ground was Alaho esk to me. I just see him winning many ryanairs myself jp has many 3 mile plus horses

[@deniswallace-vp9tb]

@@garrymelia462 you could be right Gary I've been leaving messages on most racing podcasts on ways to improve Cheltenham and my biggest bug bear is multiple entries for a horse to give the punters a chance and get the magic back into the festival I think they should have to declare which race the horse will run in 10 to 12 weeks before the festival, it's a matter of opinion but I still think he'll run in the gold cup , he won the brown advisory very easily and yes showed some pace before that to beat the arkle winner but he's a head case

[@The_Cheltenham_Bandit]

Assuming it's... Space Tourist Andrew??

[@shaunoconnor1979]

He’s had 3 winners of late

[@TomLeach-dd8cl]

I'm first 😊

Early man Tom!
