Didn't think the coverage was too bad on the whole, given the need to balance attracting the casual viewer with keeping the more informed happy.

Particularly enjoyed the Pipe/MCoy segments and thought the tribute to JT was sensitively done.

Can't warm to Chamberlain yet but maybe that will happen in time.

Fitz is terrible - they really should have kept Francome instead. Harvey is a buffoon.

Don't mind Chapman though I appreciate he's a 'marmite' character a bit like McCririck.

Pendleton is easy on the eye and at least knows about professional sport. I've a lot of respect for what she achieved as a jockey because it's not easy for someone with no experience to do what she did. She was a total pain after the Foxhunter though - you would've expected some insight given she rode the horse last year, but all we got was 'wow, that's so amazing.'

The weather lady is totally superfluous to requirements.
