Prominent figures in the Irish horse racing scene will attend a County Kildare fundraiser in aid of a child in recovery.

The event is in aid of Martin Davidson Jr, and was organised by his father, Marto Davidson (Martin Sr). His son recently had a benign tumour removed from his brain.

As part of the fundraiser, members of the public will get the chance to meet with Gordon Elliot, Adrian Keatley, Paul Townend, Shane Foley and Jack Kennedy.

Music will be provided by Fran O'Mara, and will also feature a live hypnotist, finger food, raffle boxing and jockey memorablia.
