Barry Geraghty, Katie Walsh and Paddy Power joined the OTB Sports Saturday Panel where they ran through their Cheltenham tips for the Festival week ahead.
One year on from seeing out his tremendous career at Cheltenham on a high, retired jockey Barry Geraghty joined John Duggan on a special Saturday Panel this weekend.
Alongside another Festival winner in Katie Walsh and bookmaker Paddy Power, they ran through their Cheltenham tips ahead of an altogether different racing experience.
Watching on televisions instead of being at the famous Cheltenham racecourse, little has changed for those horses, jockeys, trainers and owners hoping for a successful week, however.
