Hamilton Park on ITV4 and ITVX: Richard Hoiles Leads Commentary for Sunday Series Coverage
Hamilton Park takes centre stage on ITV4, ITV4 HD and ITVX this Sunday, with Oli Bell presenting live coverage from the Scottish track for the latest instalment of the Sky Bet Sunday Series. With the action also available via the ITV streaming platform, racing fans in the UK can follow the card live, while viewers around the world can keep tabs on one of Britain’s most watchable summer afternoon fixtures.
At the microphone, Richard Hoiles will provide the main commentary, bringing his familiar pace and precision to a competitive Hamilton card. Hoiles is one of the most recognisable voices in British racing, having built a long career as a commentator across ITV Racing and major events on the sporting calendar. His style has made him a trusted guide for punters and casual viewers alike, particularly when races are run at the sharp end over shorter trips such as Hamilton’s testing six furlongs and beyond.
The on-air team is completed by two well-known racing personalities, Leonna Mayor and Luke Harvey. Mayor, a former jockey, has established herself as a respected analyst and presenter since moving into broadcasting, using her experience in the saddle to offer practical insight on tactics, pace and race positioning. Harvey, meanwhile, remains one of the sport’s most distinctive pundits. A former jumps jockey and presenter, he has spent years working across television and racing radio, combining a sharp eye for detail with an energetic, approachable broadcasting style that has made him a regular feature on ITV coverage.
Oli Bell continues to be one of the most familiar hosts in British racing television. The presenter has fronted major ITV Racing coverage for several years and is known for keeping broadcasts moving at a good tempo while drawing viewers into the stories behind the runners, trainers and jockeys. His role at Hamilton should help set the tone for an afternoon that mixes competitive handicaps with the sort of betting interest that the Sunday Series has made its trademark.
The Hamilton card itself offers plenty of intrigue. Racing on good ground, the meeting features a sequence of sprints and handicaps, with the early races setting the stage before the more tactical tests later in the day. The competitive nature of the programme is exactly what ITV4 and ITVX aim to showcase: accessible, live racing with expert analysis and strong storytelling for both domestic and international audiences.
For viewers following the broader Sunday Series, Hamilton remains a key venue on the British racing map. The Scottish course often produces fair but honest racing, and its layout can reward both speed and positioning. That combination makes commentary especially important, and Hoiles will be expected to guide audiences through any late changes in pace or ride. With Mayor and Harvey on hand to break down the form and spotlight potential angles, the broadcast should appeal to dedicated racing fans and newcomers alike.

Between the experienced commentary of Richard Hoiles, the presenting of Oli Bell, and the insights of Leonna Mayor and Luke Harvey, the broadcast team is set to provide a polished and informative window into one of the day’s featured meetings.
