Premier League Regular Makes Grand National Debut with Wembley Announcer Commentating for Second Time

On this significant occasion, two prominent men are taking on big roles. Steve Crossman, a well-known sports presenter, is anchoring the BBC’s coverage of the Grand National for the first time, while Chris Temple, a broadcaster in football and athletics, is making his debut as a BBC commentator. Mark Chapman is in Augusta for the US Masters, leaving Crossman to lead the BBC team for the Grand National.

Crossman is excited to return to racing, having once worked for William Hill Radio, and views the event as an amazing experience, akin to being at the world’s biggest wedding. Temple, who has watched the Grand National for 30 years, is now thrilled to be commentating on the race. He recently called his first horserace during the Topham Chase and is looking forward to relaying the action during the Grand National.

Both Crossman and Temple express their excitement and gratitude for their roles in covering the prestigious event.
