Maddy and the team with weekend analysis and the best bets for the week

Maddy Playle is joined by Racing Post's James Hill and Paddy Power's Niall O'Reilly to discuss the key performances from the weekend, including Thyme Hill's Challow Hurdle win and the return to form of Apple's Jade.

On the show:

- Thyme Hill maintained his unbeaten record over hurdles with a gutsy win in Newbury's Challow Hurdle, but how does the team assess the victory?

- Apple's Jade returned to the winners' enclosure with a runaway success in the Frank Ward Memorial Hurdle, but does the team think she might save her best for Leopardstown?

- The highlight of the mid-week racing is a high-class card at Cheltenham on New Year's Day and the team provides insight into which horses could emerge victorious.

- James and Niall provide their most confident selections of the week.
