The Front Page: jockeys start chasing a fortune as Cheltenham returns to the headlines

Lee Mottershead, Chris Cook and James Stevens examine the potential significance of the new David Power Jockeys' Cup, which kicked off at a Cheltenham November meeting that delivered a famous win for Paul Nicholls but ended in desperately sad fashion. 

The panel reflects on all that happened over the three days. Alphonse Le Grande is once again the Cesarewitch winner after being reinstated following an appeals panel review of the whip disqualification that led to Manxman being awarded first place. The team considers what the saga means for the sport's whip rules.

The programme ends by assessing the appointment of Lord Charles Allen to chair the BHA board and considers how effective he might be in the role.
