Join Sam Hart, Joel Rees, Graeme Rodway and Ed Nicholson as they preview all the big action from Newmarket and York.

The team begin with Newmarket, where the Group 1 Darley Dewhurst Stakes takes centre stage. Desert Castle takes on Darkness Falls in a fascinating clash, but who will the panel side with? There’s also the small matter of the Cesarewitch Handicap, one of the toughest puzzles of the season to solve.

In the second part of the show, the panel turn their attention to York, where the Spring Trophy is the big feature. Can the team unearth a big-price winner?

To round off the show, the panel look back at last week’s Arc, share their thoughts on Daryz and finish with their best bets for the weekend.

Daryz has done what no colt has managed since Alleged in 1978: won the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe twice. Now it looks like the end of the road, with connections all but confirming retirement to stud. The panel debates where Daryz ranks among the greats and whether his connections are right to call time.

Off the track, the budget is three weeks away and new modelling warns that betting shop tax rises would close three-quarters of Britain's betting shops and cost racing £92m a year, while racing's power players descend on Newmarket for Europe's biggest bloodstock sale.
