Bruno is back from his week in NYC and thankfully he still has a show to come back to after my solo effort last week. Probably because I tipped a 5/2 and a 7/1 winner on Saturday at Newbury!  Remember, this is not a tipping podcast.  Or is it.......

This week, we review the status of our horses to follow as we near the busy Christmas period before getting stuck into this week's Deep Ground in which we ask off the back of I Am Maximus' Drinmore success last Sunday, how did the Irish National winner win a Grade Novice Chase 8 months on and is it OK?

And in the return of our Antepost Angle this week, we take a look at the next big 2m handicap hurdle of the season which comes in the form of the Betfair Exchange Hurdle at Ascot's Long Walk Hurdle meeting the weekend before Christmas.  Will the Greatwood form come to the fore or are there other form lines to consider?  Bruno nearly made it 3/3 in the first Antepost Angles of the season with Mahler Mission last weekend and he's really keen on one here too.  Don't miss it.

Enjoy another cracking weekend of racing at Sandown, Aintree, etc, this weekend (they're coming thick and fast at the moment with Cheltenham next week too!).

Cheers,

Ben & Bruno x
