    Newcastle West Co Limerick Saturday night sees Kevin O'Ryan , Joseph O'Brien, J J Slevin and Ml Winters.
    All they need is Charles Byrnes to walk in for a quiet pint.

    Who is doing the translating for Mick Eddie?
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    Of the tipsters that appear at these previews is there anyone in particular who is profitable in their selections or more worthy than others to take notice off.
    I always thought Pat Keane of the Irish Examiner was one to listen to .
