In our latest podcast Dr Will Haydock, Executive Director of Collective Voice, sheds light on alcohol treatment services in England. Representing an alliance of charities supporting people with alcohol and other drug issues, Haydock emphasises that free treatment is available in every local area – yet awareness remains low. He discusses barriers like stigma and the misperception that support is costly or inaccessible. Haydock calls for a whole-system approach, integrating alcohol treatment into broader health and social care.“There can be almost more shame around having developed a problem with alcohol than with other drugs.” This is a public episode.

We also preview the Greenlands Stakes, where an Australian import for Aidan O'Brien makes his Irish debut — but two of the team prefer a sharp-looking 8/1 shot. Over in Britain, we cover six key races, including the Temple Stakes, the Sandy Lane, and two major juvenile tests at Beverley. Then it's back to The Curragh for a massive Sunday featuring the Tattersalls Gold Cup — can Los Angeles turn the tables on White Birch, or is there a party spoiler waiting?And in the Irish 1000 Guineas, we break down strong runners from Aidan O'Brien and Dermot Weld, and three of the team are against the favourite...

The Flat season is hotting up and there is more Classic action this weekend with the Irish 1,000 and 2,000 Guineas taking centre stage.

Emmet Kennedy is joined by George Gorman and Andy Newton for a rapid-fire, bet-loaded preview of the top races across the codes, starting with the Swinton Handicap Hurdle, where George goes in strong on a bold 25/1 selection. We then head to Lingfield for two major trials. The Oaks Trial looks like another Aidan O'Brien banker — but in the Lingfield Derby Trial, questions are being asked. Did Ryan Moore pick the right horse? George and Emmet aren't convinced. And they're both in agreement on one horse in the next race being one of the most likely winners of the weekend. Over at Ascot, we break down three key races, including the always-competitive Victoria Cup, before George puts his neck on the line with his NAP of the weekend — an 8/1 shot in the following race. Confident takes, big prices, and sharp betting insight — it's another don't-miss weekend special.

With the Flat season now in full swing, host James Stevens is joined by deputy betting editor Graeme Rodway, Lambourn correspondent Liam Headd and Unibet's Brett Williams to give their thoughts on the Classic Trials at Lingfield and the Victoria Cup at Ascot.  That's not all, as the biggest handicap hurdle of the new jumps season takes place at Haydock as well. Who do our panellists fancy to win the Swinton? The team finish off by providing their best bets from the weekend action.
