Racing UK will be increasing to 2 channels if the Irish bid succeeds with a dedicated Irish channel.
Also the 9 tracks I mentioned
Stratford, Newton Abbot, Hexham all do Summer Jumping these 3 would increase Racing UK's Summer Jumping coverage which at present is mostly Market Rasen, Cartmel and Perth.
Plumpton, Fakenham, Towcester, Taunton all race mostly in the traditional winter jumping season with the odd summer meeting at Towcester (mostly Tuesday Evenings) also in the traditional winter jumping season Plumpton is a Monday track given that most of it's meetings are on a Monday Afternoon with the odd Sunday and the annual New Years Day meeting and Taunton mostly race on a Thursday.
Ripon is a flat only venue which would also give RUK all of Yorkshire excluding Doncaster.
Leicester is a dual purpose track that does flat and jumping which of the 9 is the only all year round track
