    10pm, BBC Four Here is one for serious racing fans: a behind-the-scenes, all-access documentary series filmed at the Park House Stables – one of the top-performing in the UK – in the nine tense months leading up to Royal Ascot.

    Episode one starts as the 2020 season ends, with Irish jockey Oisin Murphy defending his title, and trainer Andrew Balding prepping horses for the US while also recruiting new talent.
