The Final Furlong Podcast is back with a National Hunt Special, as one of racing’s most influential voices Gavin Lynch joins Emmet Kennedy to deliver an early treat for Jumps fans. 🎙️

With the Flat season still rolling and Irish Champions Weekend around the corner, attention is already turning to the greatest show on turf: the 2026 Cheltenham Festival. Gavin and Emmet break down the championship races, ante-post angles, and National Hunt horses to follow.

🏇 Key Talking Points:

Constitution Hill: Can the former Champion return at 9 and emulate Hurricane Fly? Or will Golden Ace, State Man, or The New Lion take the crown?

Lossiemouth: Champion Hurdle bid or Mares’ Hurdle repeat?

Stayers’ Hurdle: Is Teahupoo ready to reclaim? Could Bob Olinger, Jasmin De Vaux, or Ballyburn over hurdles be the value play?

Champion Chase: Can Marine Nationale confirm he’s the best 2-miler, or could a 40/1 shocker be worth backing?

Ryanair Chase: Gavin’s bullish 4/1 bet of the season – Fact To File.

Gold Cup 2026: Can Galopin Des Champs join racing history by regaining his crown, or will Inothewayurthinkin defend his title?

Novice hurdlers to follow: who will fare best from Kopek Des Bordes, William Munny, The New Lion, The Yellow Clay, and Final Demand?
