Champions: Full Gallop | Preview (ITV1)

The world of jumps jockeys will be seen like never before in this documentary series.

The series goes behind the scenes with jockeys, trainers, owners and horses as they compete in the 2023-24 Jumps season - produced by South Shore and supported by Flutter and Racecourse Media Group (RMG), cameras have been given access to all areas from weighing rooms to stable yards as cameras follow the dramatic high octane thrills, emotion and drama both on and off the racetrack.

This is a backstage pass to the lives of jockeys and trainers at some of the best Jumps fixtures including the iconic Cheltenham Festival and the world-famous Grand National - among other racing figures, the series will feature exclusive access to Harry Cobden and Sean Bowen in the fight to be champion jockey as well as Willie Mullins, Dan Skelton and Paul Nicholls as they vie for the champion trainer title.

The series will take in all the elements that make racing such a compelling sport, from helmet-mounted cameras that will provide the visceral experience of the risk each jockey takes when racing the jumps to the charismatic owners - salt-of-the-earth syndicates to landed gentry and even royalty - trainers and stable staff who invest so much in the welfare of their horses.

Champions: Full Gallop begins Friday 19th July at 9pm on ITV1.
