Emmet Kennedy is joined by French racing expert Adam Mills to reveal the most exciting group of National Hunt imports we have seen in years. These are the horses coming directly from Auteuil, Compiegne and Pau into the top yards in Ireland and the UK, and they could shape the Triumph Hurdle, the Ballymore, the Albert Bartlett and the key novice chase divisions for seasons to come. Adam has identified 15 horses with real potential. Eight now trained by Willie Mullins, who has produced four of the last five Triumph Hurdle winners, and seven more spread across Nicky Henderson, Dan Skelton, David Pipe, Gavin Cromwell, Gordon Elliott, Henry De Bromhead and Ben Pauling.

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!
