Rishi Persad and Steve Ryder welcome Kate Tracey to the Racing Weekly studio to review the weekend winners just gone including Shishkin's victory in the Denman Chase, who was very kindly Super Boosted by bet365 on the day. He beat Hitman by 4 ¼ lengths and is now 9/1 ante-post for the Cheltenham Gold Cup if you were impressed with that performance.

We also touch on a change in tactics in the Game Spirit Chase for Edwardstone, who won by 40 lengths(!) from Funambule Sivola. The winner is now 8/1 third favourite for the 2024 Champion Chase with bet365. Elsewhere there were wins for Iberico Lord in the Betfair Hurdle, the NAP for Steve Mellish in last week's show, and over at Navan both Hiddenvalley Lake in the Boyne Hurdle and American Mike in the Ten Up Novice Hurdle won their races.

Looking forward, we preview the 2024 Ascot Chase where there are five entries of L’Homme Presse, Pic D’Orhy, Ahoy Senor, Fakir D’Oudairies and Sail Away. In the 2024 Kingwell Hurdle preview we look at seven entries including two-time winner of the race Goshen who faces Rubaud.

As always we'll be giving our best bets for the weekend with one eye on the Cheltenham Festival 2024 as we look to unearth some ante-post tips along the way.

In today's packed show we welcome friend of the show, Steve Mellish, to the studio who talks up Sir Gino as his horse to watch this season. We then review the Dublin Racing Festival where Willie Mullins picked up the nine winners.

Il Etait Temps capitalised on a below par performance from Marine Nationale to win the Irish Arkle by a neck from Found A Fifty and is now 4/1 NRNB with bet365 for the Arkle at the Cheltenham Festival 2024. Galopin Des Champs beat Fastorslow by 4 ½ lengths and is now 8/13 NRNB to retain the Cheltenham Gold Cup. Fastorslow is now 9/2 NRNB for the same race.

First up we pay tribute to Keagan Kirkby with our thoughts and prayer going out to his friends, family and connections.

Later we preview the Denman Chase with five entries of Shiskin, Protektorat, Hitman, Sam Brown and Does He Know plus a look towards the Game Spirit Chase where there are six entries of Edwardstone, Editeur du Gite, Boothill, Calico, Amarillo Sky and Funambule Sivola.
