Episode description
British racing does not have enough high-class jumpers and the best of the lot is not being tested in the way one former legend of the sport would like. Those two subjects and a blockbuster interview are the hot topics in this week's edition of The Front Page.
In a programme recorded before it was announced Constitution Hill will not run at Cheltenham next week, Maddy Playle focuses on criticism from David Elsworth and the Racing Post's Richard Forristal about the Champion Hurdle winner being campaigned too lightly.
Lee Mottershead then examines Arc boss Martin Cruddace's incendiary comments about media rights transparency, racehorse trainers and racecourses before Chris Cook examines how the latest Cheltenham Festival entries shine a worrying light on the state of British jumping.
