ITV Racing’s coverage goes behind the scenes at the course, featuring interviews with key figures including everyone from stable staff, trainers and owners through to the jockeys as well as racing legends, sampling the atmosphere in the grandstands, with pundits bringing an expert insight into the challenge the course presents.
Joining Ed and Francesca for expert analysis are Jason Weaver, Hayley Turner and special guest Johnny Murtagh, with on-course reporting from Oli Bell, while Matt Chapman will have the latest betting news. Charlotte Hawkins and Mark Heyes will provide an insight into fashion. Lucy Verasamy will provide weather forecasts, and Richard Hoiles will be in the commentary box.
Former ITV Racing presenter Brough Scott also brings his unique perspective to the action.
