Nick is joined by RTE and Racing TV broadcaster Jane Mangan to discuss the latest news from around the racing world. They begin by galloping through all the action from the weekend, considering the changed nature of the staying chase division following defeats for Gold Cup 1-2 Bravemansgame and Galopin Des Champs. They are joined by rider JJ Slevin, who partnered Fastorslow to defeat the latter once again in the John Durkan. Also on today's show, they consider how to solve a problem like Shishkin while, following Equinox's romp in the Japan Cup, a notably humbled and moved Christophe Lemaire reflects and looks forward to a possible run in the Arima Kinen. Later, Jour de Galop's Adrien Cugnasse tells Nick about Saturday evening's Presidential Hustings for France-Galop, while TBA Deputy Chair Kate Sigsworth extends an open invite to Thursday's inaugural TBA Foal Forum.

Emmet, Katie, and George discuss the weekend's racing, kicking off with Fastorslow's second Grade 1 success over Galopin Des Champs in the John Durkan Memorial Punchestown Chase. Should we be concerned about GDC's Gold Cup prospects? Emmet has historical stats on Gold Cup winners' subsequent form. Speaking of which, Bravemansgame looked like a shadow of the horse he was last season. Can he win back-to-back King Georges? Katie and George have strong views on this. Shishkin earned a Timeform squiggle after disgracing himself at the start. Emmet loses it when George reveals the race Nicky was considering using to prep him. We also discuss State Man's latest Grade 1 win and the Novice Chasers and Hurdlers that impressed us the most. Plus, Katie has a 12/1 antepost bet for Cheltenham that looks like huge value!

The panel then attempts to make sense of the revelation that the government is assessing remote betting duty rates - a move that could be very bad news for British racing. Britain jockeys believe the return of Paul Struthers as PJA chief executive is very good news. The Front Page trio ends this week's show by offering their thoughts on his return.

Emmet and former jockey George Gorman discuss the key performances from the weekend, starting with Gentlemansgame's victory in the Charlie Hall Chase. Does Mouse Morris have a dark horse for the Gold Cup? Paul Nicholls spoke highly of Bravemansgame's run, but we analyse the records of Gold Cup winners and runners-up in the season following their Cheltenham successes, and the statistics might surprise you! You Wear It Well confirmed its superiority over Luccia, but where should both horses go next? Botox Has claimed victory in the bet365 Hurdle (Grade 2) for Garry Moore, and George provides us with the latest plans for the horse. George is particularly enthusiastic about the performance of Gavin Cromwell's Letsbeclearaboutit in the 2m4f Grade 3 Novice Chase at Cork, and he explains what makes this horse "rare." Royal Ascot winner Burdett Road made a successful debut in a Juvenile Hurdle at Huntingdon, but what steps must he take to become a Triumph Hurdle contender? George provides his insights. Additionally, we discuss Thunder Rock's triumph over Mahler Mission in the Colin Parker Memorial Intermediate Chase at Carlisle, Jango Baie in the GL Events Novices' Hurdle at Ascot, and introduce some exciting novice hurdlers to keep an eye on.

Sam Hart is joined by Graeme Rodway and James Stevens to preview the action at Ascot and Wetherby this weekend. The first part of the show focuses on Wetherby, where the showcase race is the Charlie Hall Chase. Bravemansgame and Ahoy Senor head the market, but who will come out on top this Saturday?

With the new National Hunt season on the horizon, Emmet Kennedy is joined by top jockey James Bowen and racing pundit James Woods to preview the leading two-mile, intermediate, and staying chasers through the prism of the Cheltenham Festival ante post markets. After Galopin Des Champs' defeat at Punchestown, we ask if Willie Mullins' star is still the one to beat in the Gold Cup and if not, who is likely to be his significant threat. Bravemansgame will bid for back-to-back King George wins, but Shishkin is eyeing his crown as the old enemies Nicholls and Henderson look set for an epic clash. Should Jonbon try two miles again this season, or does his future lie over a greater distance, with his ultimate aim being the Ryanair or even the Gold Cup? Plus, James Bowen gives us some fascinating insight into what it's like to ride work on Constitution Hill, describes his personality at Seven Barrows, and discusses whether it should be hurdles or fences for Nicky's superstar this season.
