Racing Postcast: Scottish Grand National Review | Winx Retires | Newmarket Craven Meeting - (2026)

Updated: 12/04/2026

Maddy Playle, James Hill, Robbie Wilders and Bet365's Paul Binfield look back at Takingrisks' Scottish National win, the Greenham Stakes at Newbury, Winx's retirement and midweek racing at Newmarket with the Craven Meeting.

On the show:
– 25/1 shot Takingrisks wins the Scottish Grand National at Ayr in a great result for Nicky Richards' yard – is he a contender for next year's Grand National?

– Elsewhere, Mohaather won the Too Darn Hot-less Greenham Stakes at Newbury while Persian King impressed Maddy at Longchamp – can André Fabre be persuaded to run him in the 2,000 Guineas?

– Winx bowed out with her final win at Royal Randwick in Australia. The panel salute her glittering career.

– Plus, there's an action packed week of racing with the Craven Meeting: the team bring their best bets from Newmarket and Cheltenham.
