Tom in for Nick and joined by senior writer at the Racing Post Lee Mottershead. We look ahead to some high class albeit a little uncompetitive racing this weekend and asses the state of National Hunt racing in Britain and Ireland this side of Christmas. Harry Cobden kicks off the show looking ahead to the pick of his Ascot rides and also gives a view on Bravemansgame in the Betfair Chase. Lee and Tom discuss some starting procedure rules changes to come into effect at the start of 2024 and also asses what the Autumn Budget might mean for the financing of British racing. Ben Coen and Dylan Browne McMonagle join us from Dubai and Australia respectively and Nick has some updates from Goffs’s November Breeding Stock Sale.
