Now i haven't really watched the programme apart from turning over when Plunkett was interrupting Skelton as he was trying to saddle Mister Mayagi for yesterdays Coral cup , and if that was anything to go by the " credits" at the end must be the best part of the "SHOW"

Anything was an improvement on what had gone before. It would have been impossible to be more dull than the likes of Cunningham and McGrath. That said they are going to struggle with the change from jumps to flat. They got lucky on Saturday with Weaver tipping a few winners and clearly they hand-picked the guests. Even Moore seemed to make an effort. How long is that going to last?

Weaver was a revelation to me on Saturday. Only remember him of old, when I used to watch ATR. Dismissed him and Harvey as clowns.
But this Weaver on the first day of the Flat, showed no hysteronics,was articulate, knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. Refreshing.

Why does Oli do far more talking than the 'experts' who are supposedly there to do just that?

I started off not enjoying ITV's coverage, particularly the Opening Show from which I would expect to glean a certain amount of USEFUL hints for the afternoon's racing, only to find it more like a boring  afternoon magazine. Cheltenham week, on the other hand, was brilliant and I thoroughly enjoyed the 4 days. Obviously the equine talent played its part, but the ITV team rose to the occasion. Unfortunately we are back in the doldrums especially as far as the Opening Show is concerned and I would definitely make some changes. Ed Chamberlain, as others have said, overdoes the aren't we fantastic, isn't it great, this the !st time etc etc and Alice Plunkett just isn't on the page. "my grandmother told me about the ITV 7" is one of her best quotes. I used to do the ITV 7, bookmakers used to print forms for your multiple bets, Alice's grandmothetr definitely DID'NT tell her about it! Today's ITV 7 is a total misrepresentation of what it used to be and is obviously aimed at the lottery brigade, which for me just about sums up ITV's attitude towards racing's aficionados. I have loved racing for more years than I care to mention and I miss the likes of Simon Holt and before him the great Sir Peter and I agree with another poster that Clare Balding would have been much more worthy of fronting the program. Mick Fitz is a nice guy and Luke and Ollie likewise. I've never liked Richard  Hoiles, as my ex wife used to say, "he's got the3 kind of face you'd like to smack" and his remark on Satuirday after Jason had tipped a bag of winners, "I'd rather follow Ryan Moore for the season" smacked of jealously and I wish him luck, Ryan Moore -£371.81 to a level £1 stake last 5 years! Anyway, I can't say that I miss Cunningham and McGrath and Chapman beats Stevenson by a country mile,so I suppose ITV comes out on top, but only on the process of elimination.

Watched for the first time on Saturday and did not enjoy it - Olli Bell was too hyper for my taste - I prefer a much more relaxed approach not the frenetic presentation displayed by him at Doncaster - not for me but just wish ATR would move into the 21st century and deliver their pictures in HD - even Matt Chapman does not have the same effect on me as Bell does ....

And Hayley - dreadful ......

Jason was much better without his sidekick ......

Jason was really good on Saturday, he had obviously put in plenty of preparation and it showed.  Both him and Luke Harvey are so much better when they are not fooling about with each other, and both of them need to walk away from that Friday night nonsense on ATR.
Hayley, as predicted by many, was massively out of her depth and it wouldn't surprise me if she took out her jockey's licence again. Plunkett is appalling in every way and should go back to her posh friends at the pony club without any further delay.  Fitzgerald is dreadful with nothing interesting to contribute and an annoying voice that grinds into me.  He should be shown the door after Aintree.  I quite like Oli and he's growing on me, Rishi is harmless enough, and we'll see what Ed is made of this week.

I think it is o.k.so far - it is good to see some different trainers being interviewed and the general tone is ok, there is too much bookmaker rubbish being spouted but that is the way of the world now and Fitzgerald is harmless he never says anything worth hearing so just turn the sound off when he is on - Plunkett is actually detrimental to the show and needs to go - there is no point in having her there if she has nothing to say and annoy people while saying it at great length.
