The Front Page: resurgent Paul Nicholls, French protests and a lucky escape

Dave Lowe hosts the Front Page this week and is joined by France correspondent Scott Burton and deputy industry editor Peter Scargill to discuss the big topics of the week.

The panel start by reflecting on the weekend’s racing and the surprise plan to target the Stayers’ Hurdle with Vauban, Scott provides an eye-witness account of the march by France’s racing industry through the streets of Paris to protest a rise in betting tax, and they finish by asking what lessons British racing must learn from the stranded stalls fiasco at Chelmsford.
