Niall Hannity is joined by Jack Reddy and Martin Dixon to preview Sun Chariot day at Newmarket and Sunday's Group 1 Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp. The panel goes through all four World Pool races on Saturday, from the opening fillies' handicap and the £200,000 Tattersalls October Auction Stakes to the Group 1 Sun Chariot and the World Pool Handicap, before picking out their eyecatchers on the rest of the Newmarket card. They then take on a deep Arc field and finish with their best bets for the weekend. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Dan Barber and Martin Dixon are joined by punter and tipster Dave Nevison, celebrating 50 years in racing, who has been to three Arcs and backed the winner every time. Dave goes back to leaving the City in 1993 to bet full time, life in the betting ring at its peak, and the code he still lives by: the bookmaker has to be right about every horse, he only has to be right about one. He also relives the Stewards' Cup photo he knew he'd lost and the Super Seven that slipped away ten yards from the line. To finish, there's a first catch-up with Kieren and Cieren Fallon, who look back on Kieren's two Arc wins and give their take on Sunday's big race. Learn more about your ad choices.

Dan Barber and Martin Dixon look back at Irish Champions Festival before having a fascinating chat with James Willoughby. Martin makes the case for Sun Goddess as a 1000 Guineas favourite and explains why the number of two-year-old starts matters more than people think, with Darkness Falls and the National Stakes also covered. James then talks about his grandfather — a self-taught modeller of every sport who never went to school, and whose working-out he later found mirrored in statistical textbooks he'd cry over in Foyles.  He covers his years at Timeform and the Times, the influence of Mark Johnston, why he stepped away from broadcasting to focus on his son, and what he thinks betting is really for.

If you watched our preview of Days 1 & 2, hopefully you've got a little bit in the tank after our team put up some winners for the first couple of days of action - but we never rest on our laurels and Tom Stanley takes the chair to preview the third and fourth days of action of the 2026 Ebor Festival and try and find some value.

Dual champion jockey Paul Hanagan rode 95 winners at York. He walks the track with Dan Barber and Martin Dixon and explains exactly where the Ebor Festival is won and lost. We walk the Nunthorpe course start to finish — from the five-furlong stalls to the winning post — through the draw, the homework, and the moment a rider commits.  Along the way Paul revisits Vintage Premium in the John Smith's Cup, Wootton Bassett before the gates were fully open, Sands of Mali in the Gimcrack, and the two furlongs where Taghrooda didn't pick up.

An early look at the week ahead as Ash Symonds goes through the big races at the Sky Bet Ebor Festival. Ombudsman heads the Juddmonte International, and Ash isn't looking far past him: "I think Ombudsman is going to be really, really tough to beat. He was so good in this race last year. I just think that he is the best horse in this race." Also under discussion: Christmas Day against Superior Choice in the Great Voltigeur, Kalpana in the Yorkshire Oaks after her King George win, the Nunthorpe and a final day taking in the City Of York Stakes and the Ebor Handicap itself. #horseracing #york #ebor Learn more about your ad choices.
