On the back of a result that shocked the world, Nick talks to Saudi Cup winning rider Wigberto 'Wiggy' Ramos about a victory that will define his career. Milton Harris drops in to talk about a possible 5 strong challenge for Cheltenham, including two fillies in the bumper to go alongside Knight Salute's Triumph Hurdle bid, while the BHA's James Given talks to Nick about the research that has led to upcoming changes to fences and hurdles.
