The Grand National and all things Aintree are pored over in this week's edition of The Front Page.

Lee Mottershead, Jonathan Harding and Maddy Playle look back at I Am Maximus's second success in the sport's biggest race and reflect on a Grand National that was filled with drama.

The rest of the Aintree festival is also discussed in detail in a show that examines the disappointing seasonal reappearance of Derby favourite Pierre Bonnard and the sport's latest attempt to persuade the government to think again about affordability checks.

Who will win Saturday’s Randox Grand National and what on earth is happening at Chelmsford? We attempt to answer both questions and much more besides in this week’s edition of The Front Page.

Lee Mottershead, Jonathan Harding and Liam Headd look at all the sport’s biggest stories, including another Cheltenham controversy, Clifford Lee’s winning return to the saddle and an expensive bit of IT drama at Ballydoyle. 

With a detailed analysis of what needs to happen if Chelmsford is to resume racing and a comprehensive look ahead to this weekend’s Aintree extravaganza, it’s another packed show.

Join Sam Hart, Jonny Pearson, Robbie Wilders and Ed Nicholson on this week’s Racing Postcast as they preview all the action from ITV Racing this Saturday.

There’s something for everyone this weekend, with both Flat and Jumps racing on the agenda. Musselburgh hosts Britain’s second major Flat meeting of the season, where Al Qareem is the headline act.

Haydock also stages a competitive card, featuring the Unibet Middle Distance Veterans' Handicap Chase. Some familiar favourites line up for the feature race, and Robbie shares a standout 25-1 tip you won’t want to miss.

All this and plenty more on the Racing Postcast.

Join Tom Kerr, Chris Cook and Matt Rennie to discuss a dramatic week in horseracing. 

The big story of the week is Albert Einstein's Curragh flop. The panel ask what to make of his disappointing performance — and what it means for the Classic market.

The panel also discuss Calandagan extending his world-champion sequence and Ombudsman's smooth victory at the Dubai World Cup meeting, all staged against the backdrop of regional conflict.
Constitution Hill made it two from two on the Flat at Kempton. The panel consider how far he can realistically go — and whether the sport is making the most of its best story.

Plus, the government has rejected levy reform after three years of review, leaving the BHA calling for affordability checks to be scrapped as a quid pro quo. Is there any hope of that happening, and what does it mean for racing? 

Finally, the Flat turf season got under way at Doncaster and the panel share the stories they're looking forward to in the season ahead.

Join Sam Hart, Graeme Rodway, Jonny Pearson and Ed Nicholson on this week’s Racing Postcast as they preview all the action from ITV Racing this Saturday.

The team looks ahead to the opening meeting of the Flat season at Doncaster, as well as key races from Kempton, offering insights, tips and expert analysis.
