The Sean Graham and The Irish News Cheltenham Preview Night has established itself as a ‘must-attend’ for punters, and this year’s renewal promises to be no different with a star-studded and opinionated panel assembled once more.

The preview night will be held in the Grand Ballroom at Belfast’s Europa Hotel, with Gary O’Brien, who is the voice of Irish racing on Attheraces, charged with keeping the chat flowing and also with keeping order in what can become a raucous atmosphere.
