This year’s renewal of the Fighting Fifth Hurdle at Newcastle looks set to be a cracker. 2020 Champion hurdle winner Epatante bids to retain his title in the race but could line up against the unbeaten Monmiral for Paul Nicholls, who was impressive in all four of his races last season.

Welcome to Under the Radar, Old Gold Racing’s fortnightly tipping feature.

Last month we put together a guide on racing tack; taking you through the equipment seen in use on course.

This week, we bring you a guide to the equipment used behind the scenes (in training). Of course, there is plenty of cross-over with racing tack but there are also many other bits and pieces of tack used at home and in exercise that you might not be quite so familiar with.
