    We're back after a week's post-DRF recuperation and looking ahead to a good Saturday card at Ascot, where frankly the Grade 1 Ascot Chase and Jonbon's latest bid to finish either 1st or 2nd is the least of our punting worries. We find a pair of tasty naps in the handicaps and highlight a well bred bumper runner that's very familiar to those of us that can think back to 2018...

    Enjoy the show and let's find some winners!

    All 15 DRF races covered for your listening and punting pleasure. Let's just hope they pass the inspection on Saturday morning!

    We have some strong fancies, particulalry in the Spring Juvenile, the 2m handicap chase and the Irish Gold Cup itself for the Saturday. Then on Sunday we're confident we've found the winner of the mares handicap hurdle, just as we did on our first visit to the DRF back in 2019, along with the Leopardstown Handicap Chase, the mares bumper and the Irish Champion hurdle!

    Enjoy,

    Ben & Bruno

    Well there's little doubt this is one of the best Cheltenham Trials Days in recent memory and SURELY we will have at least one Festival winner on show tomorrow, if not more. We get stuck in to 8 races, including one which is one of the best pointers to Festival success of any race, anywhere in recent history!

    What a day to look forward to.

    Enjoy!

    Ben & Bruno
