Send us Fan MailHello Folks - Ben & Bruno are back with you after a lovely little Cheltenham hiatus. What a wonderful and, crucially, profitable week it was and hopefully you followed us in antepost on the likes of Jango Baie and Air of Entitlement.Now that the Festival dust has settled on Gloucestershire, it's time to look a bit further north as we prepare for Aintree's Grand National meeting. Next week we will have not one but TWO episodes for you covering all the 21 races post decs across the 3 days but, in the meantime, we have done a deep dive into the greatest jumps race of them all here for your listening pleasure. A slightly different format this week where we go horse by horse down through the top 10 or so in the market and rate their chances before looking for anything worthy of consideration at bigger prices.A lot of fun and we hope to have helped you with your shortlisting!Enjoy,Ben & BrunoPlease rate and review the Talking Horses Podcast - thank you so much!Follow us on Twitter HERE and on Instagram HERE.

Talking Horses (S5, Ep20 - 28/02/2026) - Cheltenham Festival Handicap Hurdles Antepost Angle
Send us Fan MailAfter a good few of our handicap chase selections have shortened significantly over the last few days, we're back with a deep dive into each of the 5 handicap hurdles. We look at the ideal profiles for each race and create some nice tight shortlists for with suggestions of whether there's antepost value or if it's a case of bet on the day. Patience and self-control will pay off atthe Festival, so don't feel compelled to lunge in unless you're convinced there's value in the current price. One or two from your shortlist can look a lot more attractive on the day once you know the final field, jockey, ground, etc.Enjoy!Ben & BrunoPlease rate and review the Talking Horses Podcast - thank you so much!Follow us on Twitter HERE and on Instagram HERE.

Send us Fan MailThis Tuesday marked the official entry stage for the 2026 Cheltenham Festival Handicaps and so this week we have dedicated all our efforts to trawling through all 7 handicap chases (and 268 associated entries!) to create shortlists for each race, including some useful trends that can help bring a shortlist into sharper focus. We also discuss which horses to back now and which may offer similar value on the day.This was a lot of fun!

Talking Horses (S5, Ep18 - 13/02/2026) - Ascot Preview
Send us Fan MailWe'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!Ben & BrunoPlease rate and review the Talking Horses Podcast - thank you so much!Follow us on Twitter HERE and on Instagram HERE.

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.

Talking Horses (S5, Ep15 - 20/01/2026) - Mares Novices Hurdle, Triumph Hurdle & Champion Bumper Antepost Angle!
Send us Fan MailHello again Antepost fiends!We're back for our second of this season's Antepost Angle series and this time we're completing the novice hurdle set with the Mares Novices Hurdle and the Triumph Hurdle, along with the Champion Bumper too (which surprisingly yielded a strong antepost fancy).The mares race has not been one for favourites (nor are we convinced this year will be different), so is there value now or is it better to wait for value on the day, or both? We discuss. The Triumph is fascinating with new additions to the scene post-Christmas and one or two very highly touted horses yet to show themselves but possibly running over the next two weeks. We create a shortlist of those and give more than a nod to the importance of the Grade 1 at the Dublin Racing Festival. Which we also do in the context of the Champion Bumper, a race that has often been won in recent seasons by a DRF bumper winner.As ever, the plan with this series is to help create a shortlist of horses for the big races in March. We believe it's not always about taking the value now but about taking a position on a horse or group of horses early enough so we can be nimble as the markets develop in the coming weeks. Horses may shorten after the DRF but they can shorten more in the days following so early movers can be rewarded!Enjoy!Ben & BrunoPlease rate and review the Talking Horses Podcast - thank you so much!Follow us on Twitter HERE and on Instagram HERE.

Talking Horses (S5, Ep13 - 15/01/2026) - Supreme, Turners & Albert Bartlett Novices Hurdles Antepost Angle!
Send us Fan MailHello there racing fans.We're excited to bring back our heralded and successful Cheltenham Festival Antepost Angle series with the first episode of this season looking ahead to the Supreme, Turners and Albert Bartlett Novices hurdles.We start with the 2 miler and work our way up, as we think that trainers do when they have a good novice!There's no getting away from it, it's a far murkier picture than it can often be in these markets at this stage of the season and even last week's Ballymore Novices Hurde at Naas left us with more questions than answers. So is it right to be playing now or are we likely to have good fields and big prices available on the day?We discuss and help you find a shortlist to keep a close eye on over the coming weeks, particularly during the Dublin Racing Festival which should be perhaps more informative than ever.Enjoy!Ben & BrunoPlease rate and review the Talking Horses Podcast - thank you so much!Follow us on Twitter HERE and on Instagram HERE.

Talking Horses (S5, Ep1 - 10/10/2025) - We're back for a new season! Horses to follow + Chepstow Persian War meeting preview
Send us Fan MailWe're back! Refreshed and rejuvenated after a cracking summer, we're ready to get stuck right back into a new season of National Hunt racing with you.In this first episode of season FIVE (jeeze, how did we get here?), we pick out 3 horses each to follow for the season ahead. Could a forgotten Grade 1 winning second season novice chaser find his way back to the top? Could we have another northern-trained horse that will rise through the handicapping ranks to eat at the top table? Speculation. Rationality. Emotion. It's all here.We then move on to look at the Friday and Saturday of this weekend's Persian War meeting at Chepstow. This is always a fun meeting but this year it feels like we have some particularly good fields, not to mention the extra day with the Welsh Champion Hurdle moving from Ffos Las to a Sunday card here for the first time.It's great to be back with you. Enjoy and let's go find some winners!Cheers,Ben & BrunoPlease rate and review the Talking Horses Podcast - thank you so much!Follow us on Twitter HERE and on Instagram HERE.

Send us Fan MailThis week we are incredibly excited to say that we hit the 100 EPISODES milestone! We started this for a bit of fun in January '22 with no designs on where it would take us but we wanted to answer some of the many questions we had about the sport we love. And we think we did that in our "Deep Ground" sections of each episode which now, we like to think, cumulatively serve as a nice little reference library that you can dive back in to at any point should you want to know more about the different component parts of our sport.Latterly we've pivoted to focusing the show on what we love, form study and race analysis with a view to some weekend punting and we continue to have a brilliant time putting these episodes together. Long may it continue!In this epsiode, we get nostalgic for a bit then turn our attentions to the first 2 days of the Punchestown Festival on Tuesday and Wednesday. Keep your eyes peeled too as we'll be back later this week to cover the remining 3 days.Thank you to all who have listened over the last 1,196 days!
