New ITV presenter Chapman to head up ATR team

Matt Chapman, who was recently announced as ITV's newest signing, will front Arc coverage for At The Races direct from Chantilly on Saturday and Sunday.

For the first time since 2012 when the BBC decided not to screen the Qatar-sponsored showpiece, British-based viewers will not be able to watch Europe's richest race unless they tune into At The Races, Racing UK or Sky Sports following Channel 4's decision to ditch the Arc this year.

Chapman will be reporting from the parade ring for ATR and the broadcaster's output will also include interviews with connections and leading racing figures.
