Familiar faces from ITV Racing joined forces to go head to head with teams from the Racing Post in a pre-Champions Day quiz on Friday night, with one of the Post's three outfits coming out on top.

ITV Racing, which screened Saturday's star-studded Qipco British Champions Day card live from Ascot, warmed up for the big day with an evening hosted by the Post's own Lee Mottershead, who delivered questions written by Racing Post Quiz Book author Mart Matthews.

Ed Chamberlin and Sir Anthony McCoy, who made up part of a team named 'The 20-time champion jockeys', were joined on the night by ITV colleagues including Oli Bell, Brough Scott, Richard Hoiles and Chris Hughes, but victory went to the Racing Post's John Cobb, Craig Thake, Sam Hanson and James Stevens.
