Naughty Nevison loses his patience with a cheeky monkey in the betting jungle

There is nothing like getting close to the action when watching racing on TV and this includes feeling part of the, sometimes, heaving mass in the betting ring.

The responsibility for this key role on Racing UK falls to professional punter Dave Nevison, who positions himself near the bookmakers and in amongst the punters to report on the latest movers and shakers.

Such unguarded contact with the general public can sometimes lead to interference, and this seemed to finally get to Nevison at Sandown on Saturday when he was interrupted at the end of his piece by a cheeky chappy keen to make mischief.
