Welcome to the very first ITV Racing Podcast of 2021 - of which, we can assure you, there are plenty more to come. Host Richard Hoiles is joined by Paisley Park trainer Emma Lavelle, ITV's very own Ed Chamberlin, and Andrew Thornton - who, we're delighted to say, will be our expert-in-residence on all the jump races we cover over the course of the national hunt season. Alas, trials day at Cheltenham has been abandoned since we recorded, but there's still plenty to enjoy, not least an in-depth interview with Emma about her passion for the sport. She is the also first of our guests to tackle Richard's fiendish racing quiz, which you can play along with too.
