The cold weather has been dominating racing this month and there’s no guarantee that Chepstow will pass an inspection for Saturday’s meeting, although they are a lot more hopeful at Kempton, who also race on the same day.

Trainer Evan Williams looks to have two good chances to win the Welsh Grand National, held at Chepstow on Saturday and he joins us on today’s podcast

City PM racing editor Bill Esdaile previews the best of the jumps action this weekend and Wally Pyrah talks Hong Kong racing. Hosted by Chris Barnett
