Green Mile looks the part in National

GREEN MILE is fancied to enhance Tony Martin’s big-race record by landing the Guinness Kerry National at Listowel this afternoon.

To my way of thinking he is the best weighted horse in the contest, but the downside is that the ground is not going to be ideal.

The six-year-old is very versatile and is equally at home over fences, hurdles and on the flat. He does have to race from 2lbs out of the handicap, but that’s not much of a worry for a youngster rapidly on the upgrade.
