Episode Two of the new Racing TV Podcast is here! Join Dan Barber and Martin Dixon as they reflect on the weekend's racing and preview this year's Royal Ascot, plus share a few jokes along the way. Plus, hear from Nick Luck, Jane Mangan, Graham Cunningham and Niall Hannity - who weighs in with a 100-1 fancy in the Chesham Stakes.
Martin Dixon also shares his NAP of the meeting, saying: "This is an easy one for me, Galiyan in the Queen's Vase is a horse I really like.
"At Newmarket at the Craven meeting when he debuted, he didn't know what he was doing, he didn't really handle the track, but you look at the way that he finished off when he hit the rising ground and it was really promising.
He went to Chester and the track was too tight for him, but he beat a couple of good horses at Chester
"It was a fast time and looked like he was still learning on the job, and was getting better as the race went on, and I think an extra couple of furlongs and a big galloping track like Ascot will just draw that stamina out of him.
"He already looks pretty smart to me and I think there's going to be a lot more improvement in him so I think he's going to take a lot of beating."
