If you watched our preview of Days 1 & 2, hopefully you've got a little bit in the tank after our team put up some winners for the first couple of days of action - but we never rest on our laurels and Tom Stanley takes the chair to preview the third and fourth days of action of the 2026 Ebor Festival and try and find some value. Martin Dixon has some firm views on where he thinks the value may lie, while the Tote's Jack Ready is ready to play up his winnings on International hero Item. Learn more about your ad choices.

Dual champion jockey Paul Hanagan rode 95 winners at York. He walks the track with Dan Barber and Martin Dixon and explains exactly where the Ebor Festival is won and lost. We walk the Nunthorpe course start to finish — from the five-furlong stalls to the winning post — through the draw, the homework, and the moment a rider commits.  Along the way Paul revisits Vintage Premium in the John Smith's Cup, Wootton Bassett before the gates were fully open, Sands of Mali in the Gimcrack, and the two furlongs where Taghrooda didn't pick up.

An early look at the week ahead as Ash Symonds goes through the big races at the Sky Bet Ebor Festival. Ombudsman heads the Juddmonte International, and Ash isn't looking far past him: "I think Ombudsman is going to be really, really tough to beat. He was so good in this race last year. I just think that he is the best horse in this race." Also under discussion: Christmas Day against Superior Choice in the Great Voltigeur, Kalpana in the Yorkshire Oaks after her King George win, the Nunthorpe and a final day taking in the City Of York Stakes and the Ebor Handicap itself. #horseracing #york #ebor Learn more about your ad choices.

Dan Barber is joined by Chris Dixon, in for Martin this week, to look back on the Qatar Goodwood Festival and Galway — and by Jim Crowley, days after he called time on his riding career. Crowley describes the moment he knew the injury had beaten him: "When I looked at my leg and it was facing the wrong way, I thought, well, I won't be riding Anmaat in the Champion Stakes on Sunday." He also explains why he thinks race riding comes down almost entirely to a jockey's confidence, how professionalism in the weighing room has changed across his career, and looks back on Royal Scotsman — the one that got away. On the festival itself, Chris makes the case that Qatar's sponsorship has transformed Goodwood, filling the fields at a time when small fields have blighted the flat. "The flat racing generally of late has been blighted by really small fields — Goodwood's such a tonic from that." Dan and Chris both share their top three moments of the week. And where does Bow Echo sit? The comparisons with Frankel and Kingman get an airing, with Dan reflecting that making up that ground on top-class horses was as good as anything he saw all week.

Jane Mangan joins Dan Barber and Martin Dixon to talk about the horse that shaped her — Monty's Pass — and the Cheltenham heartbreak she's never quite shaken off. From the Grand National glory that ran through her family to the raw side of racing supporters rarely see, Jane opens up on what the sport has given her and what it's taken. Then it's into the racing. The team reviews a busy week: the Market Rasen Summer Festival, the retirement of the remarkable Beat the Edge, and the confusion over advertised race distances. Jane breaks down the Irish Oaks, where Aidan O'Brien came up short and a new crop of fillies staked their claim. Plus a look ahead to this weekend's action — and a first glance at Goodwood next week.

Dan Barber and Martin Dixon are joined by Mick and Jack Channon on this week's The Racing TV Podcast.  Mick Channon played for England before forging a hugely successful second career as a racehorse trainer, and he opens up about handing over the licence to son Jack — why a yard needs one leader, how the transition has worked, and what comes next for the stable. Jack shares his ambitions for the yard, from finding more winners to targeting Group races.  Plus, the lads look back on a brilliant week of racing, including Comanche Brave's July Cup win and what it means for the sprint division, Venetian Sun's bold run against her elders, Senorita Benita's eye-catching performance in the Duchess of Cambridge Stakes, and the rest of the action from the Debenhams July Festival at Newmarket.
