Ben Atkins and Sam Davies Thomas are joined by Stephanie Jones for a final episode of the Season! Thanks so much for listening, it's been a blast! x

Ben speaks at length to Ilona Barnett who is very honest about some tricky topics. A few laughs along the way, even without Sam and Elliot! Ilona Barnett is Managing Director / Chief Executive of Stratford-on-Avon Racecourse. She also chairs the Point-to-Point Secretaries' Association (PPSA) and sits on the boards of the Point-to-Point Authority (PPA), the Point-to-Point Racing Company (PTPRC) and the Racecourse Association (RCA) . In other words, Ilona is one of the most institutionally connected figures across both National Hunt racing and the point-to-point world will miss her. Enjoy!

Ben, Sam and Elliot are joined by Josh Newman, champion trainer elect?! We also hear from Olive Nicholls on her retirement!

A snappy episode with the ever wise Charlie Poste, update from Joe Hill and the still revved Vanessa Binnie Ryle!

Spoiler Alert - it's not that one... If you don't like Ben's laugh or Joe's opinion, don't listen!
