2024 preview evenings

[Kevloaf]

Matchbook Cheltenham Preview is on live YouTube at 7.15pm tonight.

They usually have a decent panel on their weekly podcasts so may be worth tuning in.

The annual Matchbook Cheltenham Preview Night, coming to the comfort of your own home. Matt Tombs, Donn McClean, Dan Overall, Steve Jones, Charlie Poste and Micheál Deasy join Tom Stanley to look at each day of the Cheltenham Festival.

I struggle to watch Blake - knows his stuff, but be 2 hours of negatives ….he hates the mares programme & somehow can’t get his head around Honey, Lossie & co wouldn’t be in racing without it …..despite their owners telling him this. Then he will moan about the XC, 4 days, the Ryanair and well just about everything.

Like Codd, but he was dreadful on a panel last night ..,,had done no homework….strange cos in past years he’s been brilliant

And also have to listen to Blake bang on about Home By The Lee being a good bet for the Stayers . Also hate the way he keeps saying “Fav”

Bigger man than me. Chapman has absolutely tanked these the last couple of years.

Ah for the glory days of when Final Furlong was good, and the facebook chat of everyone discovering Tony Keenan wasn't 70 years old

Tbf he’s second/third best horse in race on RPRs

But agree, not very inspired tip given he race plans it

Are these previews as popular as they once were? Write ups better than the actual watch. Always found this one particularly hard given the participants. Blake has already put up tips so expect him to be banging on about Ballyburn for the Supreme. If Chapman is true to his interview with Mullins he should be contradicting that idea. Codd living off the Labaik dart.

I think they are in total, but just LOT more of them now

Lot of best analysis is on various you tube videos …people like our own Spectre, Cheltmental & many more have so much more knowledge than the ATR type lot

[Irish Rugby]

I think if you follow the season race race from September/October onwards and/or regularly contribute here, these previews have little to offer. If however, you are more the casual punter, as many are just for Cheltenham week, then they can be quite handy.

Didn't someone here compose a spreadsheet of preview night/podcast selections, a couple of years back? Grim reading from memory.

Yea fuck me Blake is a negative nance so hard to listen to

On that I think the Betfair podcast crew has to be nightmare blunt rotation stuff with him and TC coming together

Really appreciate the brief write ups from these preview nights if anyone can do them.
