Weekend Review: Why Is Protektorat 12/1 for the Ryanair?! Will Jonbon Finally Get Respect? Nicky's New Superstar?

Join Emmet Kennedy, William Kennedy, and George Gorman as they dissect the key moments from the weekend’s racing action. From Jonbon’s 17th career win and debate over his Champion Chase credentials to a 23-length romp from Protektorat – are the traders underestimating him at 12/1 for the Ryanair Chase?

The team also examines Appreciate It’s Grade 2 victory, questioning its form after two years without a win, and discusses whether the Caldwell dispersal was racing’s most outrageous firesale given the poor weekend performances of his former stars.

Does Paul Nicholls have a new Cheltenham contender in Jubilee Alpha? George provides insider insights into Mondo Man, who chased home Triumph Hurdle favourite Lulamba on debut. Can the Moores turn the tables at Cheltenham, or is the trophy heading to Nicky Henderson’s yard already?

Meanwhile, Emmet spots a Coral Cup plot at 12/1, we assess Kargese’s Mares Hurdle chances after a setback, and discuss whether Three Card Brag has what it takes to become a Grand National star for Gordon Elliott and the McNeill Family.

Tune in for expert analysis, insider info, and plenty of lively debate on the horses shaping this year’s Cheltenham Festival and beyond.
