Emmet Kennedy is joined by Jaime Wrenn and leading bloodstock agent Tom Malone to unpack an epic Dublin Racing Festival and, more importantly, what it means for Cheltenham Festival.

Gold Cup division

Fact To File produces a monster performance in the Irish Gold Cup, leading home a Willie Mullins 1-2-3.

Now the big question:
👉 Supplement for the Gold Cup or defend the Ryanair?

We also assess:
• Gaelic Warrior and whether the Ryanair suits better
• Galopin Des Champs bounce-back prospects
• Inothewayurthinkin and whether last year’s hero is gone at the game

Champion Chase

Majborough finally explodes at Grade 1 level in the Dublin Chase.

Can he deliver JP McManus a first Queen Mother Champion Chase?

And can Marine Nationale realistically reverse the form in five weeks?

Champion Hurdle

Brighterdaysahead storms back in the Irish Champion Hurdle.

With Lossiemouth likely heading to the Mares’, is the Champion now there for the taking?

We highlight:
• market reshuffles
• overlooked contenders
• an intriguing 20/1 angle

Novices & Festival prospects

• Talk The Talk – now Supreme second favourite
• Old Park Star – how does he stack up?
• Doctor Steinberg – Turners or Albert Bartlett?
• Kaid d'Authie – Brown Advisory implications
• Romeo Coolio – After a hard race, are his Arkle hopes fading? Plus a big debate about the Arkle betting.
• Narciso Has – Triumph Hurdle claims

Big prices to note

Tom shares:
• 50/1 Albert Bartlett play
• 20/1 Champion Bumper angle
• plus handicappers to keep firmly onside for March

On this week’s Final Furlong Podcast, Emmet Kennedy, Adam Mills and Jamie Wrenn strip away the hype and analyse what Trials Day actually told us about the Cheltenham Festival. Not who won. But who improved their Festival chance — and who didn’t.

🟥 Champion Hurdle Division — Chaos Incoming

The New Lion lands the Grade 2 International… but receiving weight from an inferior rival raises questions.

Did he really advance his Champion Hurdle claims?

With Sir Gino injured, the division suddenly looks wide open — and we reassess the entire market.

🟩 Stayers’ Hurdle — Gamble Landed, But Festival Horse?

Ma Shantou bolts up in the Cleeve after a strong gamble. Emma Lavelle’s next Stayers winner?

The panel are split:
• One says Festival player
• One says place chance
• One says not even making the frame

Plus: What now for Impose Toi after defeat?

🟦 Gold Cup Picture — Genuine Contenders or False Signals?

Spillane’s Tower bounces back in the Cotswold Chase.

But is he really a Gold Cup horse?

We also break down:
• L’Homme Presse
• Grey Dawning
• What the race historically means (and what it doesn’t)

🟨 Juveniles & Handicaps — Festival Plotters Emerging

Maestro Conti wins the Triumph Trial
Jagwar flatters again
Favori De Champdou thrives in the Cross Country

And we highlight:
• Festival handicappers hiding in plain sight
• A Fred Winter type to note
• Jamie & Adam’s horses to follow

If you’re betting Cheltenham seriously, this is essential prep.

Real analysis. Real implications. No noise.
