IRISH racing does not have a traditional autumn double like England, but the Kerry National/Irish Cesarewitch pair up well in this regard and a few brave punters likely attempt to match up the winners, and they would deserve the rewards too, nigh on 50 runners to pick through in the two races.

There are lessons from history to finding the Kerry National winner, with front-runners favoured in the race and at Listowel generally and this year was no different.
