Having seen nine 2024 Cheltenham Festival winners during last seasons Christmas period, the panel were keen to point out some potential horses to follow from this year's festive period.
Sir Gino was the talk of the show after his superb chase debut at Kempton, but in the same race Ballyburn was not dismissed when stepping up to three miles for the Brown Advisory Novices' Chase.
Constitution Hill bounced back with a bang in the Christmas Hurdle but it was Lossiemouth and Brighterdaysahead that stirred up the most conversation as to which race they should run in March.
The Gold Cup was the ante-post race in focus this week and Galopin Des Champs and Fact To File were discussed in length.
Top performances from all the big stars were covered with a view to the 2025 Cheltenham Festival.
