HOT on the heels of Harry Cobden being announced as J.P. McManus’ new retained rider for 2026/’27 and beyond, The Racing Edge team are back to discuss the massive jockey appointment for British and Irish racing.

What might the knock-on consequences be for Mark Walsh, Nico de Boinville, Willie Mullins’ riders and others? The Irish Field’s Mark Costello and Amy Lynam join Mark Boylan to weigh up the situation in the company of special guest, Irish on-course bookmaker and breeder Brian Keenan.

Do the panel fancy the chances of I’ll Sort That following up his Naas Grade 1 win at the Cheltenham Festival for Declan Queally? All the graded action from Ireland last weekend is assessed. Keenan also shares his experience from the betting rings over Christmas and reflects on how on-course trade has been faring.

There is extended insight into the ITM Irish Stallion Trail, which takes place later this week, Mark Costello details HRI’s push for extra prize money from the Department of Agriculture, and each of the panelists nominate a horse to follow.
