James Stevens is joined by Jonny Pearson, Harry Wilson and Unibet's Brett Williams to provide their best bets for the Festive racing period.

Let us know in the comments who your best bet is this christmas period! 

Did we see the next true star of the staying hurdling scene running for JP McManus at Ascot on Saturday? But if we did, which horse was it?

Lee Mottershead, Maddy Playle and Matthew Rennie reflect on the performances of Impose Toi, Honesty Policy and some of the weekend's other most notable performers in the latest edition of The Front Page.

Looking forward, the team considers who will win this week's spectacular King George and reflects on how many more King Georges will be run at Kempton.

In this festive edition we also look back on last week's 300-1 and 250-1 winners and ask why so many horses now seem to be scoring at huge odds.

Join James Stevens, James Hill, Keith Melrose and Unibet’s Ed Nicholson as they tee up a thrilling weekend of ITV Racing from Ascot and Haydock.

The team kick off at Ascot, dissecting the key races and pinpointing the main players in the Grade 1 Long Walk Hurdle over three miles.

They then switch focus to Haydock for two cracking contests — one over fences and a competitive novice hurdle.

A fast-paced, insightful preview of the weekend’s standout racing action.

How about this for a set of discussion topics?

The increasingly uncertain future of Kempton, the possible purchase of Arc by the Jockey Club, a significant changes overhaul of the Derby festival, the first formal public address given by new BHA chair Lord Charles Allen, the world's fastest racehorse, the ongoing lamentable state of some weighing rooms, fascinating insight into a major BHA corruption investigation and the sentencing of an illegal bookmaker.

There is all that and more in the latest edition of The Front Page - and the more includes reflections on two afternoons of quality racing at Cheltenham, where Sir Anthony McCoy's Lambourn tenant Faye Bramley trained the 33-1 winner of the December Gold Cup. Even more significantly, the race carried the name of the charity created by John and Amy Hunt to support women and girls facing desperately tough times.

Lee Mottershead, Peter Scargill and Matthew Rennie cover all those subjects in a thoroughly packed edition.
