Nick is joined by RTE and Racing TV broadcaster Jane Mangan on Day Three of the Cheltenham Festival in an episode brought to you from the Fitzdares Club in the Orchard. They reflect on all the action from Champion Chase today, and look ahead to what promises to be a good day for returning rider Davy Russell, who kicked off the day firing back at comments made by Michael O'Leary on ITV. Joining the show today are Brian Gleeson, following yesterday's extraordinary triumph with A Dream to Share, Martin Kelly with international news, Boodles CEO and owner of Ga Law Michael Wainwright, Neil Phillips with food and wine and our artist in residence Liz Armstrong.
Tom in for Nick and joined by broadcaster Rishi Persad to review another stellar day's racing from Britain and Ireland yesterday. We start with The Two Amigos winning the Coral Welsh National and trainer Nicky Martin joins us to reflect on the win. Tom and Rishi also look back at the Kempton features won by Boothill and Editeur Du Gite. Blue Lord and Facile Vega won their Grade 1s at Leopardstown on a day of domination for Willie Mullins and Blue Lord's rider Daryl Jacob tells us what he made of that performance. The only race to go elsewhere was the feature handicap won my Real Steel and trainer Eric McNamara joins us to talk about the win. We hear from Danny Mullins about his rides in today's two Grade 1s, notably Flooring Porter in the Christmas Hurdle. And it's Wednesday so time to check in with Hong Kong and Jim McGrath.
