Episode description
This week's edition of The Front Page kicks off with debate about Jonbon following his latest dominant victory at Ascot. Britain's highest-rated chaser is unbeaten away from Cheltenham, where all three of his defeats have occurred. Should that worry punters thinking about backing him at short odds for the Queen Mother Champion Chase?
Lee Mottershead, Maddy Playle and Jonathan Harding consider that big festival question before discussing yet more examples of punters encountering crazy interference from bookmakers due to affordability checks. Should they really be asking us how well we are sleeping?
Like most good news bulletins, the programme ends with the weather, as the panel asks whether last week's controversial Ludlow abandonment strengthens the argument for changing the way in which inspection decisions are made.
