'It's very surreal': find out how it felt watching Cyrname in the flesh
On-course reporter Andrew Dietz joins the panel to discuss the weekend's winners
Racing Review | 'It's very surreal' | Racing Postcast
Maddy Playle is joined by Andrew Dietz, James Norris and Paddy Power’s Paul Binfield to look back on a classy weekend of racing.
The panel revel in Cyrname's epic Charlie Hall win but James isn't convinced he will be able to dominate in a potentially ferocious Gold Cup.
The Storyteller starred in the Champion Chase at Down Royal and a member of the team thinks a horse in behind is a Grand National contender at 33-1.
Envoi Allen stole the show on chasing debut on Friday and the team discuss Cheveley Park's elite string, including Quilixios, Ballyadam and Sir Gerhard.
Andrew was on hand at Wetherby and Carlisle and he waxes lyrical about Imperial Aura but thinks connections would be making a mistake if going over longer trips. He also describes how different it is being on a racecourse without any crowds and what impact it has on the horses.
James and Andrew agree a horse at Carlisle needs to be kept on side, while the team admit they were blown away by a novice chaser at Wetherby on Friday.
The panel give their best bets for Tuesday's Melbourne Cup and the Breeders' Cup at Keeneland, which begins on Friday.
