RACING fans have a chance to get information from the horse's mouth at this year's Cheltenham Festival Preview Evenings.

Countrywide Promotions is organising the event with proceeds going to the Injured Jockeys Fund. Since these evenings began in 1998 more than £30,000 has been raised for the charity.

Both evenings are at The Lygon Arms, Chipping Campden, starting at 7.30pm with panels including jockey Richard Johnson and trainers Alan King, Jim Old and Richard Phillips.

The Sunday evening panel is under the chairmanship of Robert Cooper, recently voted Racing Broadcaster of the Year.

The events on Sunday, March 12 and Monday, March 13 are sponsored by Sean Graham Bookmakers.

Admission is by ticket only at £25 in advance to include entry into the raffle and a light buffet. Tickets are available from Roger Hart on 01386 438496.
