Ep 432 - Is Irish handicap domination a foregone conclusion?

Tom in for Nick and joined by RTE & RTV broadcaster Jane Mangan. Yesterday on the pod we touched on the Cheltenham handicap weights and today pose the question whether Irish domination in this field is now a forgone conclusion. Jane answers that question and gives reasons why the Irish trained horses have been consistently hard to beat in handicaps. We hear from trainer Peter Fahey who isn’t entirely happy with all of the marks allotted to his horses and he gives an update on star mare Royal Kahala. Kelso’s Morebattle hurdle takes place on Saturday and it looks a very strong renewal this year. We hear from Jessica Harrington about the chances of her runner Autumn Evening. Plus jockey Adrie de Vries is along to reflect on his ride in the Saudi Cup and look ahead to Super Saturday at Meydan.
