Watch: Brighton balls-up, Royal Ascot raiders and more drama at the PJA | The Front Page

Racing Post editor Tom Kerr is joined by senior reporter Chris Cook and deputy industry editor Peter Scargill to discuss the biggest stories in the racing world.

Chris chews over the Brighton blunder that saw four horses declared non-runners less than 45 minutes before the off on Friday after they were found to be ineligible for the race.

Tom looks ahead to Royal Ascot, reflecting on the number of international runners and the Desert Crown affair.

Peter reviews the latest developments at the Professional Jockeys Association, the troubled organisation to which former chief exec Paul Struthers has returned as a consultant and looks likely to prompt a more robust line taken on whip penalties.
