How Cheltenham is changing | The problem with Irish dominance | Townend targets history 🏇

Joe is joined by Michael Verney and former BBC racing correspondent Cornelius Lysaght to preview Cheltenham 2025, which kicks off next Tuesday. Michael and Cornelius discuss the issues facing the festival and what organisers are doing to improve things, while Joe asks whether the continuing Irish dominance is turning viewers off in the UK. Constitution Hill's Champion Hurdle bid and Galopin Des Champs' attempt to complete a Gold Cup hat-trick are on the menu too.
