Flooring Porter produced a devastating display of front-running to rout his rivals in what had looked like a fiercely competitive renewal of the Guinness Kerry National at a packed Listowel racecourse.

Keith Donoghue sent the Gavin Cromwell-trained 6-1 chance off in front from an early stage and bar a couple of minor mistakes, it was an exemplary display from the nine-year-old. From a long way out, it was the obstacles in front and not the runners behind which posed the greatest threat.
