“No other sport can claim to host five days of such sustained sporting excellence as Royal Ascot. Every day has Group One action and when you add the fashion, pageantry and fun you have a unique, spectacular event, which is a privilege to present.” Ed Chamberlin
“Royal Ascot is the jewel in the British flat racing calendar. It has traditionally attracted the best horses from around the world and international interest from all four corners of the globe. ITV will be broadcasting every race live and viewers at home are guaranteed a grandstand view of this racing spectacular.” Francesca Cumani
Ed Chamberlin and Francesca Cumani, ITV’s award-winning presenters, will host the coverage every day at Royal Ascot. They will be joined daily by former jockey and expert Jason Weaver with Adele Mulrennan Tuesday to Thursday and Megan Nicholls on Friday and Saturday.
