It was a weekend packed with blockbuster jumps racing action at Punchestown, Ascot and Haydock, and Emmet Kennedy is joined by Grade 1–winning jockeys Lizzie Kelly and Daryl Jacob to break down every major talking point — the spectacular, the eyebrow-raising, and the genuinely confusing.

We begin at Punchestown with the epic duel between Gaelic Warrior and Fact To File in the John Durkan Memorial Punchestown Chase, where Paul Townend delivered Willie Mullins his ninth win in 12 runnings of the race. We look at how the race was run, the moves that made the difference, what to make of Fastorslow, and how the returning Gold Cup hero Inothewayurthinkin shaped up.
Most importantly: Where do Mullins’ stars go next?

At Ascot, Arkle winner Jango Baie powered home in the 1965 Chase — but is he now a serious King Georgecontender?

Speaking of Kempton: The Jukebox Man remains unbeaten over fences after a fluent prep run in the same race Bravemansgame used before winning the King George. Who does the panel want to be with for Boxing Day/St Stephen’s Day?

Over at Haydock, Grey Dawning continued the red-hot start to the season for Dan Skelton with a bloodless win in the Betfair Chase. The question now: is he a genuine Gold Cup player?

The Morgiana Hurdle saw Lossiemouth coast home, but did we actually learn anything? The panel debate her Champion Hurdle prospects, while Wodhooh, the mare she beat in the Aintree Hurdle, made a stylish return in a Grade 2 at Ascot. We assess her ceiling for the season.

Plus:
• Lizzie Kelly reveals the tracks she absolutely hated riding — with one described as “absolutely awful”
• Daryl Jacob defends one of those tracks as one of his favourites (!)

And of course: Horses To Follow from the weekend, selected with proper insight and real-world experience.

It’s a blockbuster weekend of jumps racing across Ascot, Haydock, and Punchestown, and Emmet Kennedy is joined by Andy Newton, George Gorman, and Jamie Wrenn for a fast-paced, opinion-packed preview loaded with value bets, data-backed angles, and plenty of laughs.

We kick off at Ascot with the 1965 Chase, where Il Est Français makes his British debut for Tom George. Can Pic D'Orhy land this race for the third year running? And how serious is the challenge from Arkle hero Jango Baie and the powerful Gidleigh Park?

At Haydock, the Grade 1 Betfair Chase sparks a major split in the panel:
Two are firmly against favourite Grey Dawning, while the other two are all-in on the Skelton star. Expect strong reasoning, sectional insights and a few angles you won’t hear anywhere else.

In the 1:15 Handicap Hurdle, the lads highlight 4/1, 5/1 and 11/2 players worth your attention, while in the 1:50 Graduation Chase, we debate whether The Jukebox Man is worth opposing on his comeback.

Over at Punchestown, the Morgiana Hurdle brings Lossiemouth back to centre stage—does her appearance confirm a Champion Hurdle campaign?

At Haydock’s Stayers’ Handicap Hurdle, the panel put forward 13/2, 11/1 and 22/1 selections, before returning to Ascot for the Ascot Hurdle, where Wodhooh is a warm favourite—good thing or trap?

Then it’s the big one: the Grade 1 John Durkan Memorial Chase, one of the deepest renewals in years.
Fact To File, Fastorslow, Gaelic Warrior, Inothewayurthinkin, Heart Wood, Lecky Watson—stacked quality everywhere.
And one of the team is strongly opposing the favourite with his best bet of the weekend.

With bold opinions, measured analysis, longshot plays, and proper Festival-significance across three racecourses, this is the perfect setup for your weekend punting.

The Final Furlong Podcast breaks down a blockbuster weekend across Cheltenham, Navan and Exeter with Emmet Kennedy, French racing analyst Adam Mills and Be Lucky Podcast host Daryl Carter. This episode is packed with Festival clues, powerful takes and serious betting insights.

Final Demand made a winning chase debut and is now a short-price favourite with 1xBet Ireland for the Brown Advisory. The lads analyse the performance to decide whether the hype is justified or overstated.

Kopek Des Bordes and Lulamba also made perfect starts over fences for Willie Mullins. Daryl has backed one of them for the Arkle and Adam explains the key data that separates the potential stars from the pretenders.

We revisit the Arkle Trial, where Put The Kettle On launched an unforgettable career for Henry de Bromhead. This year’s winner July Flower is now unbeaten in two chase starts, but does she have the speed, class and technique to follow that path?

Sean Bowen delivered a superb ride on Wade Out and the National Hunt Chase talk has begun, but not everyone is convinced. The team explain what the market is missing.

Paul Nicholls compared No Drama This End to Denman after his hurdles debut but Adam and Daryl break down the form and numbers to test that claim from every angle.

Mydaddypaddy made an impressive hurdles debut for Dan Skelton but does that make him a legitimate Supreme contender? The panel have questions.

L’Eau du Sud cruised home in the Shloer Chase. Is he now a threat to the leading two-mile chasers and where does that leave Jonbon?

COMPETITION

We have partnered with Punchestown Racecourse ahead of Premiere Weekend featuring a Grade 1 double header: the Morgiana Hurdle on Saturday and the John Durkan Memorial Chase on Sunday. Last year’s Durkan was race of the season and this renewal could be even stronger with Fact To File seeking back to back wins.

We are giving away the final two pairs of weekend tickets. To enter, answer the question asked in this episode and make sure you are subscribed on YouTube. Winner announced on Thursday’s show.

🔥 Headlines & Talking Points

• The Prestbury Juvenile Hurdle: Is Parchment the real deal? He’s been hyped on the podcast—now it’s time to prove it.
• Arkle Trial: Be Aware, Burdett Road, and July Flower clash in a thriller. Three of the team are all-in on the 6/5 favourite.
• 3m Handicap Hurdle: Split opinions on the market leader—but one 6/1 each-way shot is getting serious attention.
• Intermediate Handicap Hurdle: Emmet’s 7/2 NAP sparks a panel war—Peter, George, and Andy all take him on!
• Fortria Chase (G2, Navan): Marine Nationale returns, but George backs a 7/2 rival, and Emmet thinks Gordon Elliott’s 8/1 runner could cause an upset.

💥 Best Bets

Emmet: 7/2 NAP + Lucky 63 featuring 10/3, 6/5, 8/1, 6/1, 16/1.

Emmet Kennedy is joined by French racing expert Adam Mills to reveal the most exciting group of National Hunt imports we have seen in years. These are the horses coming directly from Auteuil, Compiegne and Pau into the top yards in Ireland and the UK, and they could shape the Triumph Hurdle, the Ballymore, the Albert Bartlett and the key novice chase divisions for seasons to come.

Adam has identified 15 horses with real potential. Eight now trained by Willie Mullins, who has produced four of the last five Triumph Hurdle winners, and seven more spread across Nicky Henderson, Dan Skelton, David Pipe, Gavin Cromwell, Gordon Elliott, Henry De Bromhead and Ben Pauling.

We discuss:
• The juvenile who already looks like a Triumph Hurdle prospect
• The strong stayer type who could become an Albert Bartlett horse
• The Prix Royal Monarch winner, from a race that has produced State Man, Gaelic Warrior, Sir Gino and Salvator Mundi
• The new Galiway recruit to join Vauban, Gala Marceau and Jimmy Du Seuil
• The dark horse who could progress rapidly from hurdling to chasing

Is there another Majborough, Vauban or Sir Gino in this group? We break it down with pedigree insight, French race film notes, pace profiles and likely trainer intent.

Horses discussed
Kai Lung, Larinka, Narciso Has, Madness D’Elle, Manita, Macho Man, Mister Yves, Proactif (Willie Mullins)
Manlaga (Henderson), Parchment (Pipe), Mojito Des Mottes (Ben Pauling), Maestro Conti (Skelton), Ole Ole (Cromwell), Matin Midi Et Soir (De Bromhead), Mange Tout (Elliott)

Grade 1 winning jockeys Lizzie Kelly and Daryl Jacob join Emmet Kennedy for a deep dive into the latest National Hunt storylines, form shifts, and early season championship clues.

Haiti Couleurs returned for Rebecca Curtis at Newbury. Can he graduate to Grade 1 company over fences at Haydock?

Impose Toi landed an 8/1 to 5/2 gamble on the Final Furlong Podcast. Could he develop into a serious Stayers’ Hurdle contender?

Only By Night beat Champ Kiely on seasonal debut. Is she now the one to beat in the Mares Chase?

The panel also spotlight exciting novice hurdlers Sober Glory, Kingston Queen, and a dark horse from Ireland that Daryl says people are underrating completely.

Then the big one: the Two Mile Hurdle Division.
Will Constitution Hill return to the top?
Is State Man the most reliable.
Could The New Lion, Anzadam, Salvator Mundi, or William Munny cause a March upset?

This is targeted, informed National Hunt analysis from people who have lived it, ridden it, and won at the highest level.
