Cheltenham's Champion Chase comes under the microscope plus Brendan Powell Jnr interview
Episode description
We're now just three weeks from the greatest show on turf as the Cheltenham Festival edges closer.
On Racing Weekly this week, Rishi Persad and Sam Turner are joined by leading jockey Brendan Powell as we review Amarillo Sky's win at Newbury on Sunday and Eldorado Allen's sublime run in the Denman Chase.
Rish and Sam preview a decent weekend of racing at Kempton, Newcastle and Lingfield before we get into a meaty preview of the Champion Chase on Cheltenham Wednesday. It will give us an opportunity to witness the Shishkin vs. Energumene rematch but ask if we're underestimating Chacun Pour Soi, Nube Negra and possibly Funambule Sivola who ran so well under Charlie Deutsch.
In our Talking Topics sectiont we discuss the Grand National weights and of course the comments from Michael O’Leary that Tiger Roll will not be attempting to win a third win in the famous race at Aintree.
