2024 Kerry National Tips
Perceval Legallois ran well at Galway at the end of July, finishing eighth out of twenty-two runners and the seven-year-old has the potential to feature high up in the order when it comes to this race. There was previously a solid performance at Punchestown in May when finishing second out of seventeen runners and this looks one for the shortlist.
Zanahiyr is another seven-year-old who has performed well this season and there has been a third and second-placed finish for the Gordon Elliott-trained charge. He also ran at Galway in that July race and registered a solid third-placed finish, with the horse performing well at the Cheltenham Festival when finishing fourth in the Turners’ Novice Chase.
Flooring Porter is an older horse who finished fifth last time out and that was in a seven-runner race at Killarney, with that coming after a solid effort at Aintree back in April. The horse previously ran well as a stayer and that included finishing second in the Stayers’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, so the stamina is certainly there.
Amirite was ninth in that race at Galway, with the horse having previously finished runner-up in an encounter at Kilbeggan. Duffle Coat also has eye-catching form, finishing just half a length behind Pinkerton at Galway and that came after a victory at Ballinrobe towards the end of May, with the Gordon Elliott-trained horse capable of hitting the frame.

Previously to this, the horse was able to oblige at Gowran Park, beating ten other runners in a Beginners’ Chase over two miles and four furlongs, with the charge finishing fourth at Leopardstown in the Paddy Power Chase last Christmas although some might think that Salvador Ziggy has more definite claims after that string of wins.
The seven-year-old has racked up three consecutive wins and Gordon Elliott will have his sights fixed on another success after August victories at Tramore and Killarney. When it came to the latter, there was only one other horse to beat, although there was plenty to like about a twelve-length success in the EY Chase.
Stealthy Tom claimed a handicap chase win at Killarney on his latest outing, with Enda Bolger training a JP McManus-owned runner who was previously second in the Midlands National Handicap Chase when running a fine race over three miles and one furlong. This came after a success at Roscommon over three miles and he’s one for the shortlist.
