About this episode

The episode discusses the upcoming Randox Grand National and the situation at Chelmsford, along with other major sports stories.

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.
