Emmet Kennedy is joined by racing analyst Adam Mills and jockey George Gorman for Part 2 of The Final Furlong Podcast’s comprehensive Cheltenham Festival Review, focusing exclusively on the standout novice chasers and hurdlers.

We analyse the Michael O'Sullivan Supreme Novices' Hurdle star Kopek Des Bordes, alongside placed contenders William Munny and Romeo Coolio, discussing what lies ahead for them and identifying beaten horses primed for handicap success. Adam makes a compelling case for Turners Novices' Hurdle winner The New Lion as next year's Champion Hurdle star, while the entire team agrees The Yellow Clay and Final Demand could dominate Cheltenham in seasons to come.

Attention then shifts to key runners from the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle—Jasmin De Vaux, The Big Westerner, Derryhassen Paddy, and Wendigo—and we pinpoint future stars in Air Of Entitlement for the Mares' Chase and Sixandahalf as a potential Champion Hurdler.

Plus, we explain why shock Triumph Hurdle winner Poniros deserves serious respect, discuss the dramatic Arkle Chase victory of Jango Baie and its implications for beaten favourite Majborough, and debate whether Ballyburn should revert to hurdles after a costly defeat in the Brown Advisory Novices' Chase. Could Lecky Watson emerge as a Gold Cup contender?

Finally, the team highlights overlooked Champion Bumper runners and key handicappers to follow ahead of Aintree and Punchestown.

A must-listen deep dive into racing's next generation of champions.

Fortune favours the bold as Golden Ace shocks the racing world, claiming Champion Hurdle glory amidst chaos at Cheltenham Festival 2025. Multiple Festival-winning jockey and TalkSPORT pundit Lizzie Kelly, along with TPD racing analyst Adam Mills, join Emmet Kennedy to dissect an extraordinary Champion Hurdle—including State Man’s dramatic last-flight fall, Brighterdaysahead’s unexpected flop, and Lizzie’s compelling argument about the real legacy of Constitution Hill.

We break down Lossiemouth’s classy back-to-back Mares' Hurdle victories, Bob Olinger’s Festival hat-trick and remarkable defeat of reigning champion Teahupoo in the Stayers’ Hurdle, and question whether Jonbon’s Festival dreams are officially over after defeat to Marine Nationale in the Champion Chase. Adam makes a bold, data-driven prediction for Fact To File’s future that could stun listeners, while we discuss Inothewayurthinkin’s intriguing odds for the Grand National. Finally, we debate if Galopin Des Champs can emulate the legendary Kauto Star and reclaim Gold Cup glory.

Insight, debate, and bold takes—this is the definitive Cheltenham championship races breakdown.
