With just four days to go on the Cheltenham countdown there is a very special LIVE edition of What A Shout coming your way at 6pm on Friday evening.

The Racing Post's flagship weekend preview show, in association with bet365, will be breaking new ground by going live for the first time in this special Cheltenham Festival preview edition.

Join Dave Orton, Racing Post tipster Paul Kealy, Upping The Ante star Johnny Dineen and bet365's very own Pat Cooney for the first ever What A Shout LIVE via the link above.

The panel will be discussing who is hot and who is not on the preview circuit and answering your questions ahead of the 2023 Cheltenham Festival.

The What A Shout LIVE panel

Dave Orton 

Our regular What A Shout frontman will be in the chair to keep the panel in check and ensure a smooth operation.

Dave will be fielding your questions and steering the discussion towards all the hottest Cheltenham Festival topics as the biggest week in the year gets so close we can feel it! 

Paul Kealy

One of the Racing Post's most respected and loved tipsters, Keals has been finding winners for longer than we care to remember.

As punters found out at last month's Dublin Racing Festival, he's also a good sport and ready for discussion at the races. One of shrewdest judges in the game, get Kealy's thought on all things Cheltenham.

Johnny Dineen

The find of the season! Formerly an on-course bookmaker and now a pro punter, Johnny joined David Jennings for this season of bet365's Cheltenham preview series Upping The Ante and, it's fair to say, has been a revelation.

His forthright opinions have kept viewers entertained all through the winter and, having sat on more preview nights than most recently, he's been collecting all the best titbits of info from expert judges everywhere! 

Pat Cooney

Our very own bet365 man Pat Cooney will be in studio to ensure the panel have all the latest market movers for next week's extravaganza in the Cotswolds.

Pat's a good judge in his own right, as regular What A Shout viewers will know, and he'll be giving his thoughts on those all-important Festival winners.
