The Armchair Jockeys, consisting of racing experts Lydia Hislop, Rishi Persad and Steve Mellish, return to BCS TV to preview the QIPCO Guineas Festival coming up this weekend.

The pundits cast their eyes over all the principal runners in both the QIPCO 1000 and 2000 Guineas, as well as visiting leading trainers Aidan O’Brien, John Oxx and Mahmood Al Zarooni for behind-the-scenes interviews on their hopefuls.
