Racing Postcast: festive racing review plus best bets for the weekend

Chris Cook is joined by James Stevens and Mark Boylan for a bumper edition of the Racing Postcast as the trio review the top class racing over the festive period.

The panel get stuck into the King George in which outsider Tornado Flyer landed the spoils at 28-1, what did the guys make of the race? They analyse the disappointing efforts from many including Minella Indo and Chantry House.

Along with the King George, the panel discuss the big Boxing Day winners including Bravemansgame, Epatante and Ferny Hollow.

Shishkin and Edwardstone were impressive winners at Kempton the next day, while Iwilldoit won the Welsh Grand National at Chepstow. Envoi Allen and School Boy Hours took the top honours in Ireland - Chris, James and Mark discuss a big day of racing and give us their thoughts on the top horses.

The panel finishes the review by discussing all of Tuesday and Wednesday’s action, including the Savills Chase and Sharjah winning his fourth Matheson Hurdle.

Before signing off, the guys give us their best bet for the weekend and reveal who they believe has become an attractive bet at the Cheltenham Festival after the festive racing.
