Gavin Lynch’s Cheltenham Notebook: 14/1 Ante Post Bet, Horses to Follow & Big Festival Predictions

A Final Furlong Podcast Special with 1xBet Ireland, recorded live at the Curragh Racecourse:
One of racing’s sharpest analysts, Gavin Lynch, returns to join Emmet Kennedy for a full deep-dive into everything we’ve learned so far from the new National Hunt season.

🟩 TWO-MILE HURDLERS: State of the Division

We open with the two-mile scene after another dramatic weekend:
• Constitution Hill falls for the third time in four runs
• The New Lion also hits the deck
• Where does the Champion Hurdle picture stand now?
Gavin gives his early-season verdicts on Lossiemouth, Sir Gino, Wodhooh, Anzadam, and the reigning champion Golden Ace.

🟦 STAYING HURDLERS: Ballyburn Too Short?

Ballyburn is 2/1 for the Stayers — some say too short, but Gavin has a very different take.
We also break down:
• Teahupoo’s chances
• Impose Toi’s credentials
• Who’s the real #1 staying hurdler right now?

🟨 NOVICE HURDLERS: A 14/1 Shot to Follow

Gavin shares a 14/1 Albert Bartlett pick (already backed from 20s after his preview) and names the novices with the biggest upside this season.

🟥 NOVICE CHASERS: Arkle, Brown Advisory & Trip Questions

We turn to the novice chasers with hot takes on:
• Kopek Des Bordes
• Lulamba for the Arkle
• July Flower – good enough?
Emmet asks the big one:
Will Romeo Coolio drop in trip… or is he a future Brown Advisory stayer to take on Final Demand?
Plus insight on Jimmy Du Seuil, Kitzbuhel, The Big Westerner.

🟧 CHAMPION CHASE: Who Can Trouble Marine Nationale?

Is there a real danger to Marine Nationale?
Could Majborough take over if he fixes his jumping?
We also assess Il Etait Temps and L’Eau du Sud.

🟫 RYANAIR & GOLD CUP: Season-Defining Debates

• Is Fact To File a good thing for the Ryanair?
• Could Jango Baie leap into Grade 1 open company?
• Does Gavin still believe in Inothewayurthinkin for the Gold Cup?
• Can Galopin Des Champs strike back?
• How crucial is Paul Townend to Gaelic Warrior?
• And can Grey Dawning spring a shock?

💰 Plus Gavin’s Lucky 15… which might send us to Dubai.
