The first two home in the Galway Plate, Ash Tree Meadow and Authorized Art, head the weights for the Grade 3 Guinness Kerry National Handicap Chase at Listowel.
Ash Tree Meadow got the better of Authorized Art by 2½l in Galway’s summer feature but has to negotiate a 10lb rise in the handicap compared to his rival’s 5lb increase for Wednesday’s 16:25.
The Galway Plate winner is one of seven declared runners for trainer Gordon Elliott and stable jockey Jack Kennedy has plumped for Pertemps Network Final second Salvador Ziggy, who is three from three over the larger obstacles.
Authorized Art, the ride of Paul Townend, is one of just two entries for Willie Mullins, with Ciel De Neige also in the mix. Henry de Bromhead has a strong hand courtesy of three runners including last season’s Munster National second Ain’t That A Shame.
Joseph O’Brien was last year’s winning trainer and he relies on Galway Plate fourth A Wave Of The Sea, who has gone 12 races without being first past the post.
The latest Kerry National odds are on the Paddy Power website and Paddy Power app, otherwise Timeform’s guide to the runners as well as betting tips from the racing boffins can be found below.
Kerry National tips
Timeform: SALVADOR ZIGGY has looked a terrific prospect in winning his 3 starts to date over fences and there’s every chance he can prove himself to be ahead of a mark of 150. He’s a confident choice but the likes of Ain’t That A Shame and Authorized Art should ensure that it’s not all plain sailing for the selection.
