Wonderful review of everything chaps. Great use of the replays to go with the comments. Tell a lot of effort has been put in. Thumbs up.

[@LetsTalkRacing]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mikeharrington5593]

Serious tipping advice. Concentrate on the races Mullins & Henderson will win, have a dabble on Skelton's handicap picks, and leave the rest alone unless you gotta have a small interest in every race,

[@hewoguys2506]

Agreed sir gino CH Galpon and kop all bankers

[@lean2281]

​@@hewoguys2506the bookies love mug punters like you lads

[@DominicHole]

I'd go along with that tbh 👏

[@AnishVarma-m1f]

In addition to avoiding all tips from these 2 characters (see last years Cheltenham tips)

[@MrBonando]

@@AnishVarma-m1f maybe their tips don’t come in all the time but they give you serious pointers. Josh mentioned Majborough November 2023 for a potential Triumph horse so I backed it 16/1 and look what happened

[@izobelsutton]

Whether I agree or not with your selections I always love your analysis and views, a great podcast lads and always one to look forward to.

[@LetsTalkRacing]

Much appreciated

[@DominicHole]

Superb content lads 👏. Always look forward to your uploads 👍

[@LetsTalkRacing]

Good to hear mate! Thank you!

[@liamslaney7501]

Thanks again lads. Love the videos. Always something I look forward to every Thursday. Please keep it going as long as you can it really helps

[@LetsTalkRacing]

Thank you Liam, we both really appreciate that comment!

[@barnibizer]

Amazing content as always lads. Thanks for all your hard work! Cheers

[@LetsTalkRacing]

Thank you mate!

[@Leer1969]

Been looking forward to this Josh & ABW can't wait for the festival and I have made a note of your fancies and i love these podcasts 🐎👌😊

[@LetsTalkRacing]

Cheers Lee. Appreciate the comment mate 👊

[@anthonymccarthy4935]

One of the best shows this year 😂

[@patrickconneely190]

Unbelievable analysis with clips thank you

[@LetsTalkRacing]

Thanks Patrick - really appreciate that mate!

[@paulwhitling3349]

Awesome video again chaps 👍🏻 superb knowledge as usual and well presented . And nice that you’ve got some similar opinions/ bets as myself 👌👌

[@LetsTalkRacing]

Cheers Paul! Hopefully that means winners for all of us! 😃

[@thomashampson-t7y]

Love the video analysis lads well done you pair are a good combination

[@LetsTalkRacing]

Thanks Thomas - glad you raised the videos! It adds a good bit to the production time but well worth it if it's adding plenty to the videos 👊

[@cheltenhamcountdown]

Andrew; You’ve just taken my latest pick in my antepost series too (Holy See) - I’m using a similar case in my new video too, 20/1 for the Boodles…… business!! Thanks for sharing your views too lads. Cracking video as usual, see you both at Cheltenham 👍👍

[@GeraintPowell]

If you listen to Frank Hickey - you'd be on at 50s instead

[@philiph99]

Feel like Sir Gino could have the "Luke Littler and Lamine Yamal" effect. If he wins the Arkle, he'll generate a huge following and will be tracked keenly over the next 5 years

[@BitcoinMoney8]

😂😂😂😂 he has his hands full in the Arkle mate.

[@markhoad5921]

He will romp the arkle

[@paulleach4718]

Correct, Sir G will Far too quick for Maj, as Mullins said, he’s a stayer. After the Arkle you won’t see Maj over 2 miles again, just use these 👀 👍

[@paulleach4718]

The only thing that will be full, is the bridle in Nico’s hands👍

[@markhoad5921]

@@paulleach4718 absolutely

[@Phill1203]

With what you are saying about the bumper I would like to suggest scrapping it all together. Bumpers shouldn't be a thing horses try to make a career out of, horses should run in one maybe two to get them used to the race track and then go hurdling. Last year's bumper has shown that it is not an important race to show the next good hurdlers and there hasn't really been a winner of the bumper for a while that has gone onto being a truly great jumps horse. Should be replaced by a Ryan air equivalent for hurdlers. A mid range race that isn't a handicap. Unless there all ready is one and I'm being stupid, but I still the bumper should be replaced by something else anyway.

[@The_Cheltenham_Bandit]

Josh!!!! Was wondering why i backed him months ago for turners! Must have got him from you! Also put in supreme...guess what thought all doubles and the second horses with him for supreme are all mules, cornt make it up. Keep going lads! Bandits booming but been quiet, busy at work! Cant wait for my Cheltenham holidays!😊

[@LetsTalkRacing]

Unlucky mate - I think we both may be struggling for a run...

[@russellstanton7583]

Nobhead here backed Majborough months ago at 16/1 for the Brown's. Mullins had said he's a future Gold Cup horse so I took the plunge....

[@TonyYounger-m9o]

I must be a Nobhead as well 😂, i was on 16/1 and 14/1 for the Browns same reason as you with the view to a future Gold Cup winner

[@russellstanton7583]

@TonyYounger-m9o ...😂😂

[@johnsonkevin1]

Mullins to run a 5 year old in the RSA 😮

[@russellstanton7583]

@johnsonkevin1 ..if you're good enough you're, old enough. Yes it's unusual but not unheard of. Only this week I heard in one of the reviews someone suggested Majborough would be better up in trip. End of the day it was a gamble that didn't come off so I was wrong. Got plenty of tickets that value wise have worked too.

[@mikegreen7538]

Top work lads … I thought Masaccio looked to be crying out for a step up in distance at trials day could run a big race in the Ultima 👌🏻

[@LetsTalkRacing]

Thank you Mike! Appreciate that mate and good luck if backing Masaccio. His price is short enough for us at this stage...

[@jackpeet8501]

I have the yellow clay at 40/1 (was a win today and the turners bet on William hill) so hopefully runs there but backed it for the Bartlett as well NRNB! Great show lads 👍🏻

[@lucaslavin3020]

Absolutely loved the drf there I say it might have been best festival I’ve been too some special performances and that galopin reception was special

[@Tomregan1992]

Just got my tickets for the tiger inn preview night 👍 where are yous going for a few the night before? Get yourselves to the pig iron. Racing on all day & night there, and some horrific sights!!

[@LetsTalkRacing]

Cheers Tom - see you there mate!

[@lucaslavin3020]

Great video lads

[@LetsTalkRacing]

[@tomgallagher7870]

Was delighted to see two i always follow back on track.vanillier and affordale fury..anyone any idea were aftordale will go was a cracking return

[@phiggins603]

I know u r not big metrics fans but-Ony 2 bumper winners in the last 24 years have been awarded an RPR bigger than 142. 14 winners were awarded between 131 ad 138. The pre race unadjusted RPR for the winners going back to 2008 ranged between 115 (Briar Hill ) others pre race 123-125-126-128-129- then you had pre race unadjusted RPR's between 136-146 (dunguib 2009). So a bumper contender who hits an RPR of 130 + pre race has a chance.This year Kalypso Chance, has hit 131 after 2 runs. The last win was top notch. Runners with 1-2 runs in the mid 120's can improve 10lbs + on race day, but so can Kalypso. Bamino Fever 124 after 1 run can improve and challenge. Windbeneathmywings 130 after 4 runs, will it improve again?. Kalypso will win the bumper and 7/1 is a good price.Leave the bumper alone.

[@stevenedwards2536]

Great show as always lads. I thought Kaid D'Authe ran a blinder considering all the rumours pre-race and was thinking he could carry a big weight in the Martin Pipe bearing in mind he is a big horse. Not sure how many runs he needs to qualify though?

[@LetsTalkRacing]

Interesting point Steven. We hadn't considered him for a handicap but if they can get one more run in he'll be qualified!

[@paulsmith1433]

I’ve already bet Andrews three AP bets. Confidence growing 🤞💪

[@The_Cheltenham_Bandit]

Got loads ante post the yellow clay for AB at 12s...fingers crossed

[@LetsTalkRacing]

Fingers crossed for you Bandit 🤞

[@garybnlr]

Good show lads..

[@LetsTalkRacing]

Thanks Gary!

[@elchine2515]

Majbourgh pecking at 4 out got the reaction off the crowd because of the amount of people on the double with GDC😀 including myself

[@LetsTalkRacing]

Hahaha! Class work - well done mate!

[@DominicHole]

That puturhandstogther let me down for just short of a grand yesterday i was absolutely fuming as it should have won easy but mark walsh was very suspect on it. I thought that in real time but even more having watched it back several times and you mentioning it

[@LetsTalkRacing]

Sorry to hear that mate - that's a kick in the balls. He's firmly on Boodles watch 👀

[@DominicHole]

@LetsTalkRacing yes definitely mate thank you 👍

[@phiggins603]

I backed GDC him at 5/1 and Dancing City at 11/1. I say this because u were both against them at early stage.

[@stephencassidy1992]

I feel your pain Josh, have Kopek backed at 25-1 for turners and Salvator Mundi for the supreme at 22-1 😢

[@lucaslavin3020]

Josh I know your feeling kopek looks special I’m on at 28 for the turners we might as well rip it up but he will bolt in supreme

[@jamiemfc2024]

I also got 25s for turners, was hoping it was going to be a ballyburn like last year. It hurt when Willie said supreme

[@tomgallagher7870]

​@@jamiemfc2024i have a ew double supreme/turners kopek /kowaboomga.both 14s..and kopek on its own for the supreme at 14s.but i think william munny will run a cracker his form ties in with the two others👍

[@tomgallagher7870]

Dont worry .marine will do it in march.

[@paddyclarke5640]

Would you back park of Kings for the coral Cup if Paul Nolan sends him over I think there is a big race in him

[@bradtomo683]

Andrew any follow up on diva Luna are you still fancying it

[@shaunoconnor1979]

Can’t you do one in Leeds that would be great sky bet used todo one but not no more

[@LTraylor92]

Would thecompanysargent not be getting aimed at the turners noice handicap? (jack richards)

[@LetsTalkRacing]

Yes. Big chance! I think both options are open but they prefer the Nov Handicap Chase

[@PuffaThePostie]

Not to mention Desert Orchid shows your age He was the ultimate horse Like Kauto Gallopin a great horse but is a one trick pony Would he win an Irish national off top weight? Would he win tingle creeks ? Enjoy the show though lads as you are doing what I’ve always wanted to I’m still recovering from the fact my 25/1 on kopek de bordes in the turners has gone down the pan 😮😢

[@markmcgrath7755]

I know Gaelic Warrior has ran at leopardstown where he clearly doesn't behave there but surely you can't have him after his runs this year. If fact to file goes to the Ryanair, he has no chance anyway

[@francismitchell9226]

What is name of risc beatha.

Did it well Tom 👌

[@TomLeach-dd8cl]

@LetsTalkRacing yes was a class ride by Nico. I had 15/8 on him so glad it won tbh .

[@jamiemfc2024]

Andrew, I saw that you backed sweet David in one of the videos previously, I’ve have also backed him. What’s the word on him? I noticed at the weekend he’s no longer in the betting

[@merseymagic9971]

Out for the season

[@briamurphy295]

I’ve done fact to file for the Ryanair. Ballyburn Browns Sir Gino Arkle Jonbon G.D.C Gold Cup. Do you think the 🐎’s, will run in them races I know they are favourites I bet the 5 Favourites that won last year in an Acca. So why not go for a fav acca this year thanks lads

Feet of a Dancer is the next Sandor Clegane

Big majborough is a special horse I can’t wait to see him take on sir Gino jumped so much better then people made out. Final demand special novice I hope on at 25s thanks to you Josh

Hahaha - apologies George! Thanks for your comment 🤝

[@ashleywaters4468]

Surely the chat from Gordon of Croke Park being a 2 n half miler is just chat? The horse won and finished 2nd in 2 x p2p's over 3m's and has won over an extended 3mile twice. Plus there's no intermediate trip for him to run at at the festival?! Cant see Gigginstown sitting out cheltenham and waiting for Aintree with what looks like their best novice chaser. Looks tailor made for the BA.

[@MJB2244]

I wudnt be to worried about majborough jumping but watching him at the drf and when he won the triumph, not a big fan of his head carriage and he does look visually like he hangs a bit and he even though he is gojng to be going left handed at chelts, he does tend to run down his fences more than a little bit that way at times, which will be exagerated on a more undulating, turning track. Also drf race is 2m1f compared to 1m7f for the arkle.

Saw that - I think both options are open and Gavin speaks on that after the RTV video cut out...

[@iandyson645]

@LetsTalkRacing he said a couple of months ago he was bought specifically for that race.

[@tomosullivan417]

Great episode as always lads but saying Gaelic Warrior has an exemplary record at cheltenham are you having a laugh?!!! Couldn’t win off 128 in the Boodles (getting a stone from Brazil), well beaten in the Turners and won probably the worse Arkle I can remember! He’s the most overrated horse in training!

[@BernardMcKey]

Novices are novices for 1 reason They have to learn

[@The_Cheltenham_Bandit]

[@Fazareth3103]

I'm starting to think Gaelic Warrior might just not be that good. Think he's a decent horse but might not be top class

[@Lv426-b4s]

Patrick Mullins still talking him up but what a shocking run sunday

[@Fazareth3103]

@Lv426-b4s He does hate Leopardstown. I'll give him that, but I also think he needs bad conditions as well. He won an okay Arkle but then got turned over at Punchestown on a bit better ground. If he comes back to prove me wrong fair enough, but need to stop making excuses after three average runs

[@Lv426-b4s]

Yep think he needs soft or even heavy conditions I think would stay further aswell but couldn’t back him at Cheltenham not on that performance Sunday

What makes you think she wasn't going well? It was about a mile from home ya mad egg. I know you probably have a great eye but the fact that Willie said he was really happy with them both when she fell make me think you might be wrong here.
