The Cheltenham Festival is just around the corner and as the ante post tips and rumour mill hits overdrive the team from the Racehour podcast and the Tote teamed up to bring you the best Cheltenham Preview night on the circuit once again!

An expert panel of special guests lined up to set the record straight at the famous Goat Bar in Dublin on Tuesday 28^th February 2023. The evening is packed with a plethora of tips, analysis, entertainment and heated debate to get stuck into ahead of the four days at Cheltenham on a fully recorded preview night special.

This year’s panel is once again brilliantly marshalled by Up The Ante and Racing Post's David Jennings (host), Cheltenham Festival winning jockey Mikey Fogarty, Aintree Grand National winning jockey David Mullins, Racing TV presenter Donn McClean, and of course the #Racehour podcast duo of Diarmuid Nolan and Dean Ryan. From the Tote, the team were joined by Jamie Benson of “Beat Benson” fame from the Tote Betting Tournaments and creator of Tote Fantasy – a wonderful innovation for horse racing fans available only on the Tote platform.

2023 Cheltenham Festival - All Races

Straight into the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle and beyond as the panel debate Facile Vega, Tahmuras and more, who what and where will they run and more importantly who will win the first race of the week once the roar subsides and the horses do the talking.

All four days covered, the mares races and the handicaps discussed separately and then it’s time for the charity bets provided by the Tote to find the naps that can raise some money for a good cause after all the fun has been had for the week.
