RACING fans had pens at the ready on Thursday night as experts gave their tips for the Cheltenham Festival at the annual preview event in Skelper Quanes.

The Blennerville pub has hosted the night annually over the past number of years for various charities and good causes, raising ten of thousands in the process.

This time it’s the Kerry Hospice Foundation to benefit and those attending gave generously as they listened to MC Pat Healy interview famed trainer Tom Cooper, his son Bryan Cooper, fellow jockeys Philip Enright, Paddy Kennedy and bookie Berkie Browne.

The panel went through the races from each day, declaring their choices to an audience who will no doubt be rolling in cash come St Patricks Day. Scroll down for photos…
