Ep 1139 - Cromwell siblings set for Grade 1 weekend

Tom in for Nick and joined by senior writer at the Racing Post Lee
Mottershead. We start with JP McManus’s column in the racing post
entitled “Why I think Cheltenham Festival handicaps need to
change”. Lee tells us how this came about gives his views on JP’s
comments. We hear from Nico de Boinville in conversation with Josh
Stacey after Constitutions Hill's gallop on Monday and we ask
whether the market drift on his Fighting Fifth and Champion Hurdle
claims is an overreaction. We are joined by Gavin Cromwell and
Gabriel Leenders who have intended Betfair Chase runners this
weekend and the former also has Inothewayurthinkin in the John
Durkan on Sunday. We also hear from Haydock clerk of the course Dan
Cooper who tells us much needed rain is on the way. After four
riders were banned at Lingfield yesterday, jockey coach George
Baker joins us to give his assessment of events. Nick has been
catching up with Chair of the TBA National Hunt committee Simon Cox
ahead of Warwick’s Thursday fixture and we have the latest from
Hong Kong with the croc.
