Racing and cricket fanatic Ryan Bliss co hosts with Champion Jumps Trainer Paul Nicholls’ assistant trainer and wannabe golfer, Harry Derham, to discuss the latest goings on in the Nicholls stable, as well as discussing the recent runners and who might be worth looking out for. The pod features a special guest in each episode to liven things up and to hear alternative views from outside Team Ditcheat.
Harry and Ryan review the festive racing results, with Clan Des Obeaux's King George obviously taking centre stage. They look back on the year with Geoff Derham, who returns for his sports update and to revel in Liverpool's incredible 2019. Harry also gives his tip, who may run on Sunday at Plumpton......Happy New Year to all! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ryan-bliss/message
