A big thanks to Paul for this and Kev, for facilitating. Good luck with your bets, everybody.

Paul Spectre that was a fine tribute you paid to the memory of Michael O'Sullivan and his family. I bought into your idea of a bet for funds for the family. Ive done William Munny, Marine Nationale, Nine Elms and Jazzy Matty in a lucky 15. I had intended putting half to any Fund set up for the O'Sullivan family. I truly wish everyone all the very best of luck and hope we can as the FJ Forum raise a lot of money for this cause. Good Luck all

Fantastic video last night Paul and Kev. Just wandered if there’s any plans for anymore pre Cheltenham videos planned with other FJs. I know in recent years we’ve had a deep dive into the handicaps and Daily previews and best bets.

Thanks everyone. It really is very much appreciated, that you all take the time out to listen and join in. Hopefully it adds a bit of extra fun to the Festival. Particularly on the day.

I'm hosting a live Preview focused on the Handicaps in Gloucester on the afternoon of the 9th March.

jono and nortonscoin200 are on the panel along with two of the Oddschecker Tipsters, Ginger Joe and Liam Firkin the Racing TV Tipstar winner.

Ben Hastie who was Head Groundsman at Cheltenham is also making a guest appearance. He will tell us about the differences between the 3 courses, what kind of horses you want and should be looking for and which one's we should be avoiding, and he'll tell us how all the XC horses have schooled.

Also Dan (Skelton) is recording a piece to kick us off to take us through his Festival horses, and particularly the handicappers.

It'll be recorded, and assuming no technical issues should be available that evening, or worst case the following morning.

For anyone interested it's almost sold out but there are still 7 or 8 tickets left. It's free, so if you live locally or in the South West or Midlands, it kicks off at 1pm so it's plenty doable. Plus it's a good chance to meet a few people you know from here.

JJ was asked about both but only speaks of Busselton & how he would love to be on him - about 1hr 11min in on Irish Racing preview - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GuoJLSemfHc
