WATCH: The Front Page - is Constitution Hill back? And is the Racing League finished?

What links Constitution Hill, the Racing League and Harry Skelton’s unique winning celebration? Firstly, all three seem to polarise racing fans. Secondly, all three are among the subjects discussed in this week’s edition of The Front Page.

As well as reviewing a weekend of great jump racing in Britain and Ireland, Lee Mottershead, Chris Cook and Matthew Rennie discuss news revealed in the Racing Post about Arena Racing Company dumping the Racing League and launching a new Friday night winter series with ITV aimed at those aged between 18 and 25.

On the horse front the panel has differing opinions about how excited we should be about novice chaser Final Demand and how hopeful we should be about Constitution Hill before his planned return next Saturday.

As well as saluting Betting Shop Manager of the Year winner Tracey Mooney and reflecting on what might be to come in the now imminent budget, Lee, Chris and Matt debate the merits of the Skelton salute and ask whether it’s the ‘Harryplane’ or the ‘Skelecopter’?
