ITV Racing S2017E01 - Grade 2 Relkeel Hurdle and the Grade 2 Dipper Novices' Chase

Ed Chamberlin introduces live coverage of key trials from the home of jump racing in the UK, ahead of the Cheltenham Festival in March.

The coverage marks racing's return to ITV for the first time in 32 years, kick-starting a new four-year deal to show UK horse racing on terrestrial television encompassing live broadcasts of almost 100 days of racing each year - including 41 days on the main channel.

Taking centre stage on New Year's Day will be the Grade 2 Relkeel Hurdle and the Grade 2 Dipper Novices' Chase. Oli Bell will present live racing from Musselburgh to complement the action from Prestbury Park.

Expert analysis and comment comes from Sir Anthony McCoy, Luke Harvey and Mick Fitzgerald, with contributions from Olympic gold medallist Victoria Pendleton and weather expert Lucy Verasamy, and commentary from Richard Hoiles.
