'Plainly not fair': Epatante and Honeysuckle wins spark sex allowance debate

Newcastle, Newbury & Irish Racing Review | Talking points | Monday Postcast

Maddy Playle is joined by Graeme Rodway, Mark Boylan and Paddy Power's Patrick Kennelly to look back on a mouthwatering week of racing.

The panel discuss two exemplary chasing debuts by Shishkin and Monkfish and assess their Cheltenham Festival credentials.

Cloth Cap was a runaway winner in the Ladbrokes Trophy, but Graham isn't convinced it was a strong renewal. The panel discuss their Stayers' Hurdle fancies after Thyme Hill charged towards the top of the betting on Friday.

The team compare Epatante and Honeysuckle after their dominant wins at the weekend, and Graham has a strong view on the 7lb sex allowance.

A member of the team is keen to take on Ballyadam and Envoi Allen in the future and explains why. The use of new technology caused a stir at Fairyhouse and Mark and Patrick give their views.

The pundits also look ahead to Altior's return in the Tingle Creek at Sandown and Graham explains why he thinks the champion chaser could be vulnerable this season.
