AFTER a few false starts and with the weather causing havoc, the National Hunt finally looks like kicking into top gear over Christmas.
And the highlight will be the blockbuster King George on Boxing Day.
Sky Sports Racing and Racing TV will have their fair share of the action.
But ITV remains the only place to see all the big races without having to switch channel.
Here, Sun Racing goes through Christmas ITV Racing schedule so you don’t miss a beat.
