Maddy Playle is joined by Tom Collins, Graeme Rodway and Paddy Power's Paul Binfield as they look back at all of the biggest racing action from the 26th and 27th of December.

The panel look back on a King George where tactics were crucial and some of the key players disappointed, with Frodon and Bryony Frost coming out on top for a shock win. Graeme is frustrated by Waiting Patiently, who he thinks should have won more Grade 1s.

Nicky Henderson is shutting down his yard briefly after Epatante and Altior were disappointing at Kempton but Graeme dishes out the stats and disagrees with the assertion that his horses are in bad form. 

Zanahiyr, Chacun Pour Soi and Appreciate It shone at Leopardstown and Tom thinks all three look solid propositions for the Cheltenham Festival and is particularly excited by the latter. 

One Henderson runner didn't disappoint on Sunday and that was Shishkin - the panel discuss whether or not he can be beaten in the immediate future. 

The team are in agreement when it comes to the winner of the Challow Hurdle at Newbury and they also think the market has got it wrong in the Matheson Hurdle, both of which are on Tuesday.
