With the Cheltenham Festival just around the corner, we take a different approach to the formbook by diving into RaceiQ data with Racing TV analyst Page Fuller. RaceiQ uses GPS tracking technology to measure performance metrics such as jumping efficiency, stride length, entry speed into obstacles, and finishing sectionals, offering a completely different perspective on how horses perform in top-level races. Page joins Emmet Kennedy to analyse the key metrics behind the leading contenders for the biggest races at Cheltenham, highlighting the performances that stand out in the data and identifying the horses whose numbers suggest they could have a major impact at the Festival. Page has produced Racing TV’s Cheltenham Festival RaceiQ data pack covering all 13 Grade 1 races. The aim isn’t tipping winners, but identifying the performances and metrics that stand out in the data and understanding what they may tell us about how these races could unfold. 🏇 RACES PREVIEWED Supreme Novices’ Hurdle Turners’ Novices’ Hurdle Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle JCB Triumph Hurdle Arkle Novices’ Chase Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase Champion Hurdle Close Brothers Mares’ Hurdle Stayers’ Hurdle Queen Mother Champion Chase Cheltenham Gold Cup 📊 WHAT YOU’LL GET FROM THIS EPISODE RaceiQ data insights from Racing TV analyst Page Fuller Performance metrics for the key contenders in the Grade 1 races Analysis of jumping efficiency, stride patterns and sectionals A different perspective on Cheltenham form using GPS tracking data 🧠 WHY THIS EPISODE MATTERS Cheltenham races are often decided by small margins, and traditional form study doesn’t always reveal the full picture.

The first Yes/No Gameshow of the 2026 Cheltenham Festival season is here. Emmet Kennedy is joined by Adam Mills, Lizzie Kelly, Jaime Wrenn and Barry Doyle to take on the ante-post market leaders with 1xBet Ireland — and every favourite faces the same question: YES… or NO? Each panellist votes. No fence-sitting. Then they justify it. This is where conviction meets pressure. 🟥 Champion Hurdle The New Lion – 9/4 favourite Is he a worthy market leader — or too short in a race that punishes hype? 🟦 Mares’ Hurdle Lossiemouth – 10/11 Banker or blowout? 🟩 Stayers’ Hurdle Teahupoo – 13/8 Can he regain his crown? Or is he vulnerable at the top? 🟨 Champion Chase Majborough – 7/4 The heir apparent? Or a short-priced risk in a division that bites back? 🟧 Ryanair Chase Fact To File – EvensGaelic Warrior – 7/4 Two heavyweights. But will either run? If lining up, are they bombproof? 🟪 Gold Cup Fact To File – 4/1Jango Baie – 9/2 Is the market right? Or is the Gold Cup picture far more open than it looks? 🎯 What You’ll Get Clear Yes/No verdicts on every Festival favourite Strong disagreements One favourite each panel member is prepared to oppose One favourite each is confident will deliver If you’re betting Cheltenham ante-post, this episode forces you to take a stance. 🎧 Listen on Spotify, Apple & all podcast platforms📺 Watch the full show on YouTube💬 Comment below: Which favourite are you backing — and which one are you taking on? 🔵 Presented by 1xBet Ireland.

Punchestown Grand National Trial Betting Guide | 6/1 NAP, Elliott Trends & Festival Clues Emmet Kennedy is joined by Jaime Wrenn, Andy Newton and Sean Crowe to mark your card for 1xBet Grand National Trial Day at Punchestown. This is one of the most informative staying handicap chases in Ireland — and the stats are impossible to ignore. 🟥 2:30 Punchestown – 1xBet Grand National Trial (Listed) Gordon Elliott has won 6 of the last 10, including the last four. Last year’s winner Fortunedefortunata returns off a higher mark, now with a 5lb claimer on board. Sean Crowe makes Lucky Lyreen his 6/1 NAP with 1xBet Ireland. We also discuss: • A 15/2 play • A 16/1 angle • The profile that keeps winning this race 🟦 2:00 Punchestown – Beginners Chase Willie Mullins won this last year and runs Kiss Will, previously favourite in both chase starts. Beaten last time out in the same Leopardstown race has produced Galopin Des Champs and Fact To File. But the team are split. Soldier In Milan who was 4/1 for that Leopardstown race, is Emmet’s NAP of the weekend. If his jumping sharpens up, two of the panel believe he has serious upside. 🟩 1:30 Punchestown – Noel Byrne Memorial Rated Novice Chase Can Pure Steel bounce back at a track and trip he has already won over? 🟨 3:00 Punchestown – Sheila Bourke Novice Hurdle Heads Up is considered NAP material by one of the panel. Andy brings a stat that makes the race more complicated. 🟪 3:32 – Maiden Hurdle The long-awaited hurdles debut of Barry Connell’s Ksar Fatal. 🟧 4:32 – INH Flat Race The team highlight a horse currently 40/1 for the Champion Bumper with 1xBet Ireland.  🎯 Plus • A charity race with a standout contender • Festival angles emerging • Two strong weekend NAPs • Big-priced plays throughout the card If you’re betting Punchestown, this is your full preview. 🔵 Presented by 1xBet Ireland.

Without question the very best sports Podcast! Premium quality but available for free! Thanks to all the team for keeping the show going during the lockdown and keeping us entertained. The show with Hector is an instant classic! The original, often copied, even by those who worked on it, but no Podcast comes close to his class. Particularly a fan of Emmet Kenners, Sarah Lynam, Rory Delargy, Kate Tracey, The Rix and Jess Stafford. More with them plz! Give us more!
