Joining the Front Page panel this week are Chris Cook, Lee Mottershead and host Tom Kerr.

A packed show begins with reflections on the sad news of Shishkin's death at Seven Barrows, before the panel discusses Willie Mullins' momentous achievement of becoming the first Irish-based British trainers' title winner for 70 years and asks: will he do it again next year?

Lee Mottershead tells us about his reveal-all report into internal unrest at the Jockey Club, Britain's most important racecourse group and the operator of Cheltenham and Epsom, at which financial blows and disagreements over strategy have sparked a brewing crisis.

Imminent changes to the Cheltenham Festival race programme, the even more imminent crowning of Willie Mullins as British champion trainer and whetting the appetite for the year's first Classics - this week's edition of The Front Page is certainly not short of material.

James Stevens digs deep into his midweek Cheltenham scoop as we try to predict how the 2025 festival will look following an admission from the Jockey Club that moves will be made to strengthen the meeting. Will races be axed, could others be amended and is it time to keep novices out of the handicaps?

Willie Mullins had a great time at Cheltenham, which is a major reason why he holds a clear lead in Britain's trainers' championship. Lee Mottershead puts his achievement into context as the team asks what it will mean for the sport now and in the future if Mullins does indeed claim the title.
