Verdict

Gavin Cromwell looks to hold a strong hand in this year's Kerry National, with PERCEVAL LEGALLOIS taken to make up for his Galway Plate defeat and confirm the significant promise of his first 2 attempts in handicap chases. Stablemate Flooring Porter has obvious scope from a mark in the 140s on hurdle ability and should find this test much more suitable than the 17f he tackled in his previous handicap chase. Solitary Man and Gordon Elliott pair Zanahiyr and Chemical Energy are also shortlisted.

  1. PERCEVAL LEGALLOIS (FR)
  2. FLOORING PORTER (IRE)
  3. ZANAHIYR (IRE)
