Paddy Power podcast is out, not exactly a preview but usually an interesting listen when Ruby's on.

Listening to it as we speak!

Yeah have had to settle for that for now, like you say Ruby always a good listen
 
Ruby is great. Re-playing the part where he mentioned water table being high.... so the going could change very quickly if we did get some rain

Yep, as someone local to the track, he's not wrong at all... Had a fair downpour a week or so ago and it flooded bloody quickly. Thankfully had a dry windy day today and not much forecast the next few days.

His Ballyburn comments were very interesting too.

Matchbook Cheltenham Preview is on live YouTube at 7.15pm tonight.

They usually have a decent panel on their weekly podcasts so may be worth tuning in.

Apparently the XCC was completely flooded a few days ago so they shouldn't need to water.

Tattersalls Ireland preview live on YouTube now

…ATR tonight with Codd and Kevin Blake. I’m intending to listen and will write a summary in here.

I struggle to watch Blake - knows his stuff, but be 2 hours of negatives ….he hates the mares programme & somehow can’t get his head around Honey, Lossie & co wouldn’t be in racing without it …..despite their owners telling him this. Then he will moan about the XC, 4 days, the Ryanair and well just about everything.

Like Codd, but he was dreadful on a panel last night ..,,had done no homework….strange cos in past years he’s been brilliant

And also have to listen to Blake bang on about Home By The Lee being a good bet for the Stayers :sleeping:. Also hate the way he keeps saying “Fav”

Bigger man than me. Chapman has absolutely tanked these the last couple of years.

Ah for the glory days of when Final Furlong was good, and the facebook chat of everyone discovering Tony Keenan wasn't 70 years old

Tbf he’s second/third best horse in race on RPRs

But agree, not very inspired tip given he race plans it
