Sam Hart is joined by Graeme Rodway, Robbie Wilders and Unibet's Ed Nicholson to provide their best bets for Royal Ascot 2024

Let us know in the comments who your best bet is for the Royal Ascot 2024.

Sam Hart is joined by Graeme Rodway, Matt Gardner and Unibet's Ed Nicholson to preview the action at York, Sandown and Chester this weekend.

In the first part of the show the panel look at Saturday's card at York. Relentless Voyager was an impressive winner at Epsom last time out, and the panel are keen on his chances in the Listed Race To The Ebor Grand Cup Stakes.

The second part of the show switches the panel's attention to Sandown and Chester. The Scurry Stakes at Sandown sees Adaay In Devon at the top of the market. She has been running behind Group-class Royal Ascot runners and looks to have found a good opportunity away from the royal meeting here.
The team then share their other selections before providing their weekend NAPs.

Join us for a special edition of the Front Page following the news that BHA chief executive Julie Harrington will step down later this year, the latest in a series of top leaders to exit the sport. Was Harrington a success or failure in the role? What does her successor need to tackle? And who might fill the role? 

We're talking all things Royal Ascot this week as Maddy Playle and Peter Scargill join Tom Kerr on the Front Page.

Front and centre is the recent debate over whether Royal Ascot is losing its lustre for international runners unimpressed by its prize-money. The panel also discusses a remarkable pre-Ascot spending spree by a rising force in the sport, John Gosden's tough start to the season and the big clashes at next week's festival.

Also on the agenda is the exit of Jockey Club chief executive Nevin Truesdale - the panel chews over his record at the top and asks what sort of person might take over the role later in the year.

Finally, we follow up a Chris Cook column which called for the BHA to ensure horses spend time in the pre-parade and parade rings, following concerns that racegoers who want to actually see racehorses are getting a raw deal.

Sam Hart is joined by Graeme Rodway, Robbie Wilders and Unibet's Ed Nicholson to preview the action at Haydock & Beverley this weekend.

In the first part of the show the panel look at Saturday's card at Haydock. There are four competitive looking races on the ITV card from Haydock, including the Lester Piggott Fillies' Stakes and John of Gaunt Stakes. Can the team solve these tricky puzzles?

The second part of the show switches the panel's attention to Beverley where two-year-old's are at the centre of attention. Richard Fahey is in flying form, and looks for this to continue as he sends the well fancied Moving Force to the Two Year Old Trophy Conditions Stakes at 2.40.

The team then share their other selections before providing their weekend NAPs.

Two Derbys, one Oaks and the latest showdown between racing and betting are the hot topics in this week's edition of The Front Page.

City Of Troy went from woeful to wonderful on Saturday, in the process living up to everything Aidan O'Brien had said about last year's champion juvenile. Jonathan Harding looks back at his Epsom triumph and Eleziya's Oaks victory for Dermot Weld and the Aga Khan.

The Classic action continued on Sunday at Chantilly, where Look De Vega ran away with the Prix du Jockey Club. Scott Burton was there and forecasts what France's new superstar might do next.

Lee Mottershead ends the show by taking us through his Racing Post Big Read feature that went inside the corridors of power to tell the story of why racing and betting failed to reach an agreement on levy reform.
