Okay, So do you prefer No.

When you win money in the lead up to Chatham so you're going in a good form Or do you feel like maybe you've used up all your Look, if you win in the week portrait, I'd sooner be winning.

Really?

Put you under less pressure.

Does not.

Yeah, yeah.

So you're good, confident mood are not too bad.

She just see what happens and speaking from now, which is Tuesday.

It looks like fingers crossed toes crossed Torchwood that the Chaplain Festival is going to go ahead according to bed for anywhere and bad.

Fair knows everything.

I think it's values on a two minute what their big bad bars come out with a good news yesterday.

So embarrass the one thing that would give me a lot of hope that I say a week or 10 days was that, you know, to call our football matches.

Concerts and race meetings will be a little bit point us if two million people use the to Bermuda on.

And so I think that's that's gonna be harder for people that are very own.

Editor Richard Forrester did say this in this column today.

Yes, seeded.

Now I know what is essentially just a recreational activity.

Bush.

Ideal thing, I'll say, is them or 10 days ago.

It was very worried about it because of Children.

Sob.

So you think of them first as you were hoping.

George, Do you think of them for Italian over it.

But I believe that for a second.

But the more I read about it, the more I'm relaxed.

But it's okay.

I think we'll be fine.

Get through The end of April gets into the summer and the vaccines on Christmas system is going to be fine.

Yeah, okay, we may as well come with the show.

Okay, open the anti viewers after the phenomenal success off the offer last week, we're going to extend it.

Yes, open the anti viewers.

You can get half price subscription to the Racing Post Members Club with the code you ta 50 Uta 50.

Sign up and you can become a member off the Racing Post members toe.

So let's kick off with our questions from the crowd.

On the first question this week comes in from racing commentator on YouTube, who could be anybody on racing commentator once and will come we see past the top tree in America for the Queen Mother Champion Chase because racing commentator thinks that this is a very similar field.

The last year's champion hurdle, but we couldn't see past happens Jade Marina and move over there.

Look for happiness for Dalam one, you know.

No, no.

Last year, probably a fair point to make up a J was 74.

Buh bird air 11 to 4 Arena fight to Lorena, possibly Borsa Donald.

She did a Christmas movie.

There fell apples.

Jade ran like sometimes mirrors can run at the winner.

Esper Donna had 17 out of eight.

It was very, very only exposed, so there was a chance that it could have been a superstar.

Where is you?

Look at the fourth and fifth favorites in the Champion Chase Dynamite dollars Police log.

And so royal.

We know how good the either.

There's not a chance of them jumping to the next level.

I don't think so.

To me.

It's a three horse race here who's gonna stop me along?

Don't know.

OK, time for our next question comes in from Jade would on YouTube on Jade was so after Marie Marie's rock has been pulled out of the mayor's novice hurdle.

Gavin, what do you think of the chances of Manila malady.

Currently your favorite with Petrus, it's well, yeah, I think she don't 11 before she's definitely in tightly.

Be favorite.

She's three or three out of three over hurdles.

She went over two and 1/2 in car two and 1/2 punched on the inside track.

Probably consider the Winslow that the last day inferior.

She was very good.

She won she be.

She called Review by two and 1/2 cents that she has to carry a penalty for that.

So she has to give away £5 in the mirrors.

That was hard and so for people to be aware that she did give called Revie £4.

And the one thing I'll say it here the last day, the time the race was four minutes, tarty for two and 1/2 miles.

Exit Poll.

Who want a good maid in her letter that Jon Snow on your heart, Santa Rosa was finished on even Linwood Gold.

They took four ways for two miles, so I always work off 15 seconds of for long, right?

So take off 30 seconds because they did 1/2 mile extra, so they did two miles in four minutes, which is eight seconds quicker than any.

Understand.

It's a very fast time.

Okay, Just got there in the end.

Yes, I had to explain it here, but definitely deserves to be favorite on Dhe.

Would would.

Bonilla melody B.

You're tracing their If I'd say so.

I think that it turns into more of a stain race every year because it's two mile 12 horses in the last seven four lungs with a long, straight the kick on a long way out.

So I think the stain racing tutor.

Okay, so as you know, it's it's preview Night Central at the minutes.

Preview lights everywhere with someone last week but Mikey, 40 and David Morland on.

I asked him to rank Willie's mayor's novices in order.

So Mikey went one adult Cheetah.

No question.

To Lamar Keys and treacle Revie.

David Mullens went one Lamar Keys to tell Cheetah on treacle.

Rabies.

So both elaborate.

It looks really will.

He was forcing second last year to outside to see You never know.

You never know.

You never know Diego.

Hopefully that answered your question.

J.

The next question comes in from Kevin Smith on Facebook on.

Kevin wants to know Quad Horse is the worst value at the entire festival and simply cannot.

When you're not letting table numbers because he's drifted, data breaks.

Next, you have to Okay, I go for Santini.

Okay?

I just don't love.

The horse did well to in the last year.

Suppose second, last year's Arcee.

I just think to me he's just gonna get a pace at some stage in the race.

Now, I'm not saying you can't win like Norton's kind won the Gold Cup in 19.

Ninety eight hundred one.

So you can never say never.

But if I had to pick one of the shark Place, it'd be him.

Okay, you know what?

This you're taking him on.

I'm taking on all t r.

I think because he's 2020 at the charter trips, Okay?

No, I just think what you are.

I thought the idea of last year won't win.

This year's champagne.

Chased the out here.

If this year, we don't know if he's that much better in the shelter of last year on, I just think we check on per soir on definite soy.

They are a complete different level.

Tr police logs, your store oils.

And I think he's got a struggle to reporters.

So was asked in power said that train has sailed.

I think so.

Ok, s o L t r is the worst value of the entire meeting.

According to me, I know that controversial and is possibly one of my favorite parts of all time.

But just to finish on Santini, one of the reasons I don't like him is, for example, have been folded one over 25 and from or twice, I just think I just don't think you'd be able to do that.

Delta Work Beach, Loris Bargain Cheerios Last year in the drink.

More safe 15 months ago.

Correct.

Again, Santini wouldn't be able to do that.

Okay, You need a bit of pace a little bit.

Yeah, that's my downfall of football guarantee.

That's what I would have no pace.

That's where your goalie on the last question was in from Carol Price on Twitter.

Very interesting one from Caroline.

Caroline.

So, apart from the crone of Iris stopping Chatham going ahead, what else could ruin your festival?

Um, second raters, which is worse to grow the virus or secondary is we probably shouldn't be too flippant about them.

I get second raters, maybe for one or two weeks.

A year.

I just hope it's not next week.

It's the worst week together.

And the other thing is, I'm going to go away with Neil, Peter and Charlie, and we'd be playing pool all day long.

So if I lose, the pool will be gonna be tonight.

Yeah, There's people watching this there that won't believe you're not going to tell him.

But this is your routine.

Usually go somewhere.

Okay.

You young ladies here?

Yeah.

The only thing is that Neil has discovered a new drink the last couple months.

Got food, Karen?

I am brew firechat.

My ambrosia.

Same glass.

Yeah, he starts talking Scottish, and then we start drinking, and then we start.

So we kind of stopped then.

You're good at the Scottish accent.

Very impressed.

Under arrest of showing a Scots accent nor want no, thank God.

Let's kick on.

Okay, So do we have a treat in store for you?

Yes.

This is usually the week that waas But Gavin Very sharp week that were You know, there was basically nothing, eh?

There was two horses I was going to talk about saying Sunday that wouldn't choose day and also force flow the ball 20 to 11 for the marsh and build a grand annual.

They brought one quite well, so I have a small chance started.

So that's it.

That's the week that was.

So instead of the week that Waas we are going to go through all the handicapped at the Chapman Festival.

Yes, For the next couple of minutes, me and Gavin, they're gonna dissect the 10 handicaps at Chatham on.

We're going to give you our selections.

So I think that's a good trade in the handicapped for the week.

That was so we're gonna kick off with the ultimate.

It's 1/3 race on Tuesday, and it's always a very, very competitive affair.

Gavel INGE.

Ultimate First time, The Captain Week.

It's great to get that first handicap winner.
