By courtesy of the Directors of the Sandown Park Race Club, viewers visit this well-known London course to see some of the principal events in the afternoon's steeplechasing and hurdle racing.
Peter Dimmock with Peter O'Sullevan help viewers follow the races from the roof of the Club stand, while Clive Graham is beside our paddock camera to assist viewers to identify the runners and jockeys in the parade ring before each race.
