The biggest race of the year takes place this weekend.
Jockeys & Jackpots, in association with BoyleSports, returns for episode six. And, fittingly, we are going big with the final episode of the season, as we look ahead to the Aintree Grand National, which takes place on Saturday, April 5.
Going for gold
Dave Orton hosts once again, and this week he is joined by rising media star and racing expert Ella McNeill, who returns to the show.
Ella is a freelance presenter and a manager with owners club Chelsea Thoroughbreds. She made her debut on the show in episode four, and if you want to watch that and all previous episodes, just click here.
The pair are joined by Olympic gold medalist, broadcaster, and racing fan Samantha Quek.
Sam won a gold medal with Team GB’s field hockey team at the 2016 Rio Olympics. She has also appeared on I’m a Celebrity, Masterchef, Strictly Come Dancing, and was the first-ever female captain on Question of Sport.
Grand National fever
The panel discussed this weekend’s Grand National and offered their tips for the big race.
Dave tipped Hewick (10-1). Sam’s heart is telling her Hyland (20-1), the Nicky Henderson-trained horse, but her head is saying Vanillier (10-1).
Ella, meanwhile, tipped Intense Raffles (9-1).
They also speak about the Aintree racecourse and the exuberant fashion on show at the Grand National, while Sam tells all about her horse-racing themed wedding at Chester racecourse.
