David Pipe is the sole British trainer with an entry in this month's Guinness Kerry National, to be run at Listowel on Wednesday, September 19th.

The 10-year-old Premier Dane has won all three of his starts since joining the Pipe yard earlier this year, most reently when hacking up in a handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot yesterday under A.P. McCoy.

Formerly trained by Nicky Richards, Premier Dane has been alloted just 9st 10lb in the Kerry National and looks certain to get a place in the line-up if declared as he needs just three defectors from those above him to make the cut.

His Irish rating of 129 is just 5lb above the mark he raced off when winning a Stratford Handicap Chase last month.

The top weight is multiple Grade 1 scorer Follow The Plan and he is 6lb clear of the locally-trained Forpadydeplasterer.

Other interesting entries include Cross Appeal (Noel Meade) and the Pat Hughes-trained Caduceus. Oddly, Willie Mullins has just one entry - Themoonandsixpence, who has not raced since finishing second in the 2010 Galway Plate.

Cant believe there's only been 3 posts on this ! Questions Answered is well hcapped if returning to his 2010/11 form and has excellent form in Heavy which will be essential 2day, times were ridiculously slow there yday. Whether 10s is value anymore, i doubt. Start Me Up has been well flagged up on the NH fred and it's easy to see why, on his Limerick 3rd to Seabass, being nutmegged by Lion na Bearnai, his Navan win or the Kim Muir run he is quite feasible off 133 and also proven in somme like conditions. The other one i like is Our Victoria who is a consistent mare who has run very well in these conditions but not faced them very often, her run behind Cloughmile over 2m 4f on Heavy making her very interesting off 128. 
3 singles and comby f/c's the play.

I'm a sheep with Start Me Up at 20s - that was a stand out price considering the company he kept last season. Well found now however

I also played Alpine Eagle small e/w as he is still unexposed and at Galway hinted that there may be a lttle more improvement at 3M - did come in but now drifted like a barge and that isn't the best sign for a JP animal.

As well as QA and SMU, it looks like King Ali is expected to run very well. Good luck all
