Saturday TV Trends Sat TV Trends: 13th Jan 2024

Some nice jumping cards to look forward to this Saturday from Wetherby, Warwick and Kempton, with eight races being shown LIVE on ITV4 across the three tracks.

The clear highlights on the day are the Grade 3 Wigley Group Classic Handicap Chase at Warwick– a race trainer Paul Nicholls has won three times since 2006, and at Kempton the Coral Lanzarote Hurdle - a prize that the Nicky Henderson yard have landed three times since 2013 - is their showcase event.

As normal, here at Geegeez, we are on-hand with all the key stats for the LIVE ITV races – hopefully they might help point you in the direction of a few winners.
