Nick is joined by ITV Racing presenter Oli Bell to discuss the latest from around the racing world.

Also today, betting industry veteran Vaughan Lewis offers a detailed rejoinder to Prime Minister Andy Burnham's disparaging remarks about betting shops, while Juddmonte's Barry Mahon brings news of a typically powerful team for next week's York Ebor Festival, and has an update on long-absent one-time Classic fancy Publish.
