Merry Christmas to all our listeners 

Another packed show of previews for the big races on the Sunday 27th December from Chepstow, Kempton, Leopardstown and Limerick.

Chris Telford is once again joined by the usual suspects, Andy Cummins, Declan Carroll & Steven Edwards as they go through the showpiece races on the cards. 

We start with Chepstow and the Juvenile Hurdle Finale. Nassalam is a very short priced favourite and he feels a little like Goshen reincarnated, this will be his hardest task to date. We then preview the Welsh Grand National which as ever, is very competitive. Chris & Declan agree on one horse that will hopefully take a step forward and showcase his staying pedigree. 

We then head to Kempton, and this is where the fun begins. The Wayward Lad Novices Chase is where we started and the word 'Shishkin' started a whole heap of discussion and opinion. You need a beer for this one! The Desert Orchid Chase should see Altior back in the winners enclosure but Andy wasn't so sure about that. 

Then we head to Leopardstown and preview the Rewards Club Chase, where Chancun Pour Soi is awfully short and the lads are keen to take him on. The Future Champions Novice Hurdle could be the most competitive Grade 1 of the Christmas Period and opinions where divided as to where the winner would come from. Finally at Leopardstown, we focus on the Paddy Power Chase. 

To round off the Christmas fun, we preview Limerick's Grade 2 Novice Hurdle where both Andy and Declan selected an outsider with a lively chance.

Merry Christmas to all our listeners

In the first of our Christmas Podcasts, Chris Telford is joined by Andy Cummins, Declan Carroll and Steven Edwards as they preview some of the big races on Boxing Day. As per usual, the lads have studied hard and have a good few laughs along the way.

We start our betting preview with Kempton's card beginning with the Kauto Star Novice Chase where Shan Blue is a firm selection from all the panel. The Christmas Hurdle is a chance for Epatante to showcase his talents further while in the King George VI, the lads are divided on where the winner will come from. 

We then head over the Irish Sea to Leopardstown and the Knight Frank Juvenile Hurdle where we have a short priced favourite in Zanahiyr. The Racing Post Novice Chase sees Felix Dejsy and Darver Star take each other on again and once again, the race divides opinion. 

Over at Limerick we preview the Faugheen Novice Chase where Asterion Forlonge looks to put a stamp on his credentials but will have to brush up his jumping vs some of these in what looks a very decent renewal. 

We finish the episode by analyzing the Rowland Meyrick at Wetherby, and this where we find out who Rowland Meyrick actually is. Thanks to Andy. Chris has a solid shout in this race, but is just hoping the horse takes up his entry.
