And boy will be pleased to see it come round has been so squelch.

Eat.

We're all not shaky hands anymore, but bumping elbows and hopefully everywhere bumping elbows that shelter on the Tuesday We're recording this on the Friday evening.

So please bear that in mind with running plans.

And I'm joined by a chamber, actually.

Green and all the bell.

How are we all good?

Exciting goose bumps.

Come on, tell me how you feeling, Love.

Week of previews.

Looking for enormously way have the scares is when you talk about the weather.

So let's hope everything goes smoothly from here.

Four presidents have got on Monday.

Where are my certainties to start on?

Really soft ground and that's a little bit unusual.

I know that you were saying those that what course, actually pleasantly surprised as we sit here on Fridays to how it is, But there's still significant rainfall cast particularly think on Monday.

Yes, I think it talked about a lot of the moment after Gordon Elliot's comments about envoy Alan.

If he comes over on Sunday, I think he'll be pretty happy.

It's just that forecast on Monday at the moment is a lot more rain.

It will not stop raining.

It's ridiculous.

But the other point to remind everyone punters wise, is, of course, you could only declare for one race that the Children festival in what Ellen is going to run in the supreme.

They have to make that decision on Sunday on various other horses to do it.

They need to do, for example, it presumably being the mayor's on Sunday for Tuesday.

But she's not.

You could begin to piece the jigsaw together is the where they dio because you only get one shot at it.

If the ground changes during the week, that could be quite interesting.

Yeah, it is a big sores necklace.

Maybe people spend all winter for Dick Tingle where these horses are going to go.

It looks a great fastball.

What particularly the Wednesday, of course, the queen of the championship, with absolutely exceptional, so really exciting stuff, and I just pleased to get stuck in it just for like, a long time coming to the Yes, it's always allow, but I just think that Tuesdays rule we half relief half euphoria.

It could be really great.

Great atmosphere only, Of course, I would mention it a bit later on.

But you got the acne.

Showed you, of course, the week as well.

Yeah, and when we go down there on buildup toe every day at the races, I love that part of the day for me, Really.

I think being there in the stable yard where our studio is and seeing all the Irish horses, the Irish invasion.

When they come out of the stables, you get Gordon Elliott.

String, followed by Willie Mullins, is strength.

Then the English or shoot horses start, start arriving.

It's a real treat to be down there for that.

What is a key part of the Children festival now?

And the viewers will see a LL that stuff on the opening show every day of the Children festive starting at 9 30 I did before a great team of team of guests coming up.

We've got some features as well, plenty to look forward to on the opening show, and Chris Hughes will be joining us as well.

Tell us what's coming up in the social stable.

We'll have.

Our reporters will have jockey camps or some of the horses that going out on dhe stretching their legs in the morning.

So we will take hopefully the viewers.

They will very much feel like they are there on the morning of the Children Festival day.

Okay, so it's time to get stuck into Day One.

We're gonna start each day with the feature race and the champion Hurdle.

You've done lots of previews.

You were saying it.

The champion of the one sits there says, scratches their head not to.

Nobody could still be a good race.

Good.

Listen, is there anything anyone would say?

It's a vintage in Europe the moment who knows what we'll be saying afterwards.

But the fact is, it's ah, really good hunting race.

This is really I think the pumps will really enjoy that.

I think you get races on ITV with the audience.

We have the King George been the best example.

High quality five runners when this'll crack came.

I think I thought was a real turn off for viewers.

People who look in the paper thing right we're gonna do They're gonna see the champion hurdle with all these runners and think right 5 to 1 the field.

I think it'll probably be on the day.

It's a terrific punting race if it's not top quality race and I've got Golden rules gelt.

Um, next week, Richard, I'm gonna take on the horses.

That how hard races in the Dublin Racing Festival on the over watered ground on Dhe, I'm afraid the speed horses that I did fancy with that weather forecast on Monday, I'm starting to get a bit wobbly about your sheepskins, your appetite, aunts thes type horses.

I just don't think it's gonna suit.

And in the champion Hurdle, I think it's right for an upset.

I'd be backing old warriors like Super Sunday well, or two miles and call me too.

Okay, I got ridiculed.

Bell was part of it.

I ridiculed tipping.

Call me Lord this week.

I didn't laughter.

It's rated one sixties.

Great that he is the top rated.

I got out of the way.

By the time you got the mayor's allowing separate on comes out better.

But you're right 160 for Donna Blue.

I think Super Sunday is well, yeah.

So you know the Irish ratings.

Obviously they been notched up a couple.

They laughed at.

You called me Lord, I need to do that.

Richard wasn't quite good.

Bet it's getting back to the bright side back to that.

But the simple fact is, none of Nikki's have run well in that race that they always disappoint.

Even binoculars scrambled home boob in a used to scramble home in that race.

Good record.

No, I don't know what they call me.

Lorcan quite go to the same place but not give away tohave things rectifying.

But at the same time, hopefully he suffered well, he's the least is in the race on the big names.

Obviously, Capitan.

I mean, she was so impressive Christmas hurdle, but she left her lines at the festival 12 months ago.

Dickie's adamant.

It's the flu jab affected her.

But you was like horses that run with the festival in past, and she was sent off 15 point or something like that for the mayor's not and blew out.

Yeah, if there's people listening to this for the first time and they're getting into racing for the first time, festival form is key, and it's something that a lot of racing fans will know.

This is one of the four minds to follow, I suppose Converse if you have forces like Capitan Thio, as you mentioned, they're disappointed that it has to be a concern for all that.

There were excuses given quite influenza and the jabs except for it.

As you mentioned Richard for May I.

I'm concerned about the horse of the top of the market for a couple of reasons.

Pepitone was a winner of a handicap to start a little bit, that she was impressive.

I know she was impressive in the Christmas hurdle, but she could be this star.

I personally don't quite believe it with her.

Yet Pendant Hills is the second favorite.

He's been beaten twice, is here, including by Bali.

Andy, who's four time?

The price of him on Dhe has won a bumper forth in this supreme third in the Coral Cup has got really good festival for social pendant hills on the ground.

Honeysuckle won't run keel Assembly was mine.

Well, it was interesting that given that she was going to the mess, they still play 570.

Quit of Yeah, Keeper in the champion.

Take the easier option The champion.

It would be keyless entry was a chaser to starts go.

Can he win?

A champion is the source of the top of my head.

I think you have to look at big prices in this race.

I think there are a few big price for the other night.

I actually made the point that I don't actually think it's that bad toe.

Have three or four big prices on your side.

I think that's mathematically.

Probably quite sensible.

Make it 6 to 1 to have four on your ticket.

And I would have ballet Andy, Andy, Andy now who became a Children, what in this super cool Coral Cup beating her law, already running the seasoning in that race.

That pendant was running out and he didn't mean that.

So I'm gonna do so.

People will jump down what everyone in the feature race is, at least to give their selection and 10 seconds justifying it.

If you like.

The case of people right there were held accountable roughly your waffle around.

First, we're going last, give cover, all my all, my note says.

But now I I love appetite.

I think we've got a huge problem with the ground like that says it's a great great point, Capitan.

Always liked.

I'm not gonna change my mind now.

Perfect.

I like call me, Lord.

I'm gonna get a Super Sunday.

I think you're gonna need a two and 1/2 mile.

It.

He's no.

If he wins is not a great champion hurdle, but I'm convinced he's gonna run well, six consecutive crystal appearance, but super something somewhat, pretty impressive.

Stressful.

For someone like me.

A festival for me.

I'm going to say three very quickly.

Valley and the cornerstone loud his baby, You know, the start of the season and not so sleepy, I think could just to make a stand and make cool.

Okay, Because because he was CBD inconvenience That star starts.

You can put a complete lie that I was at the start that new, but it was none of it.

And I'm sticking to call me Lord Resolute, you know, be unbearable.

Better.

There's a commentator.

You conserve the fact we call me Lord, you don't overplay it in that type thing.

You stay neutral time thing.

I mean, so Rafe wanted to get involved in the finish.

It's not nobody a problem.

T o Terry had a moment wait to be absolutely hopeless.

You definitely got that.

Nobody is just cause it's a nice rate of a good story rather than with your back to it.

I wouldn't back him preparing any lines this week for like a tiger roll?

Not yet.

No, not really is.

You know, it's like we tend to prepare stories.

Don't wait for the words around.

It sort of fit because sometimes you have three seconds to say.

Sometimes you have 10 things, the number of words you can use that changes.

So if you thanks yourself into a a phrase or somebody, you have to gamble in order to get out.

So best distance let it happen.

Naturally, sometimes it works.

Sometimes it definitely does.

Thea other two races going quickly cover on Day one in debt is Theseus Cream and again, the Rain, N Y Alan.

Very short price for the Ballymore all week, but now the non runner.

No bets in particular, has led to invite Alan.

As we sit here on Friday, being joined favorite with shit skin on a stereo on for launch of both figure in the same ownership.

We're gonna have to obviously guess whether what Ellen turns up, we have to assume that he might, um, would it be the right chord in your mind?

I don't think it would.

Personally, I think the supreme will beam or off a test to a certain extent for him, because I think he's a horse that likes to get into a rhythm during one for him.

When the Neptune and horses like that, bowling right out in front, I can see em borrowed and doing that in the Ballymore, I find it hard to see him being able to deal with as much ease in a supreme.

I think he'll always be in sixth gear, in cream and in the body more.

I think he might be able to do things and slightly more on his own terms.

So for me, the Ballymore is probably the easier of the races for him to win and probably the more suitable race in terms of temper.

I'm not certain that the markets yesterday 64 13 to 8 at the moment, the Bali morning would be round about 321 Probably short notice if he ran might be a few quants.

The Irish banker.

For those of you back to your banker and either raise things.

Bank, I think, is the Irish Bank.

Because you know, the ones who got the previews and they'll shout about one that's not gonna get tested in the ballet, Morbius.

Samcro Denali type moment again.

I sent with the Irish that the on course commentators have a field day, weren't they?

Yeah.

You make a relentless progress on by Alan.

The whole place is going nuts.

Able prepared lines for it.

What was your views on the supreme?

Yeah, Shishkin.

Real fast horse again.

We've got a look at the ground.
