Jury Duty and Rogue Angel the cream of Elliott's Kerry National crop

Gordon Elliott could run all six of his entries in Wednesday's Guinness Kerry National at Listowel as he seeks to win the race for the third year on the trot but believes Jury Duty and Rogue Angel are the best of his bunch.

Jury Duty was immediately installed as 7-1 favourite with some firms for Listowel's midweek showpiece after the entries were revealed last week, but Elliott urged punters not to forget the consistent Rogue Angel, who has been backed into 12-1 from 25-1 with Paddy Power.

Elliott has teamed up with Lisa O'Neill to win the race for the last two years with Wrath Of Titans (2016) and Potters Point 12 months ago, and says the prolific amateur will definitely be given the chance to try and complete a hat-trick but is not sure whom she will ride yet.

"We have had great luck with Lisa over the last few years in the Kerry National and she will certainly be riding something for us in it again, although I am not quite sure what yet as we have yet to finalise our plans for the race," Elliott said.
