Top tips for the Irish Champions Festival! Racing TV's Danny Archer is back to mark your card for the action at Leopardstown and the Curragh this weekend, live on Racing TV, in the latest episode of The Formbook, available to watch now for free on Racing TV's YouTube page.
Our man again struck with his nap in the latest edition of our preview show thanks to Royal Fixation (5-2) scoring at York's Sky Bet Ebor Festival, and Danny again has some strong views on the key races on Saturday and Sunday.
Anmaat is a strong fancy in the Royal Bahrain Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown, with Danny nominating him as his nap on day one.
He says: "I think the race is tailor-made for him. He's got that potent turn of foot, and this is a huge opportunity for him. At 4-1, he makes plenty of appeal."
Danny also has an each-way fancy in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Sovereign Path Handicap earlier on the card, so make sure you watch the full show on our YouTube page below. As ever, please feel free to comment with any views you have on the action at the Irish Champions Festival. Enjoy!
