A star-studded team has been assembled by leading bookmakers BoyleSports for one of the first Cheltenham preview nights. The countdown is well and truly on for horse racing fanatics, with the four-day extravaganza kicking off on March 11. The Irish have dominated proceedings in recent years and a formidable charge will make the trip over the Irish Sea. Punters and fans alike can get one of the earliest looks ahead to the Festival at a preview night with some big names at Limerick racecourse.

Guests will also be treated to a free drink, a free bet and finger food on arrival before top inside tips from some of the biggest names in the game. And better yet, ALL proceeds from the evening will go to the Irish Injured Jockeys fund. David Jennings of the Racing Post will host the event and will hope to get a scoop out of Irish legend Willie Mullins' Assistant Trainer, David Casey. Trainer Shark Hanlon will also be on the panel, alongside Gold Cup winning jockeys Robbie Power and Bryan Cooper, as well as Johnny Dineen of Upping the Ante.

Tickets for the event will cost €20 (+€2 booking fee) and proceeds will be donated straight to the Irish Injured Jockeys fund. Limerick racecourse will also host a seven-race jumps card on the Thursday of the festival (March 13th) with racegoers able to take in the action AND catch every race from day three at Cheltenham on the big screen. Sharon McHugh, Head of PR & Sponsorship for BoyleSports, said: “We can’t wait for what will no doubt be an evening of laughter, fun and most importantly brilliant insights and winning tips from our expert panel.
"We’re delighted also to support Irish Injured Jockeys. "It’s a charity close to everyone’s heart so hopefully we can raise a nice contribution to show our appreciation for all the amazing work they do.”. A responsible gambler is someone who:.
