Join Rishi Persad and Steve Ryder for the start of the fifth series of Racing Weekly, brought to you in association with bet365.

When did the National Hunt Season 2023/24 start?
The show takes its usual shape with a recap of the latest racing from the bet365 Charlie Hall Chase as Gentlemansgame provided Mouse Morris with his first UK winner since Rule The World won the Grand National in 2016.
We also touch on the Breeders' Cup in the US and the fallout from the Melbourne Cup in Australia before we preview the weekend’s biggest races - the Grand Sefton Handicap Chase at Aintree and the Badger Beers Handicap Chase at Wincanton.
"And it's live...!"
