Matt Chapman and Paddy Brennan are back with plenty of big opinions and reaction, giving their verdicts on the likes of Fact To File, Galopin Des Champs, Grey Dawning and Ballyburn after a top weekend of racing. David Bass joins the lads to discuss a number of topics, including some hilarious memories of Paddy, his split with Kim Bailey, and riding Sprinter Sacre on his chase debut! With more fantastic action this weekend, the pair have their say on the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury, the Fighting Fifth at Newcastle, and the Hatton’s Grace at Fairyhouse.
