In the upcoming seven-day harvest festival, a notable contender is set to compete in the feature race - the Kerry National. You Oughta Know, owned by Luke McMahon, will be ridden by its native trainer, Willie Mullins.

You Oughta Know has shown impressive form, winning its fourth attempt over fences at Wexford last month, finishing 23 lengths ahead of the second-place horse. This victory followed a maiden hurdle win at Punchestown in December.

The horse's success story does not end there. In bumper events, You Oughta Know was a smart performer. McMahon, who has had success in big-race events with horses such as Whiskey Sour, Cilaos Emery, and Bleu Berry, owns this promising racer.

For those interested in form study, the Racing Post digital newspaper subscription offers valuable tools. The subscription includes an extensive archive of horse, trainer, jockey, owner, pedigree, and sales data, as well as form study tools such as the Pro Card and Horse Tracker. Replays and results analysis from all UK and Irish racecourses are also part of the package.

However, it's important to note that the subscription does not repeat earlier facts about Luke McMahon, You Oughta Know, the Kerry National, or its training by Willie Mullins. Similarly, it does not mention the odds of You Oughta Know being a 6-1 favorite for the Kerry National, as announced by Paddy Power, or McMahon's close call at the €200,000 contest with Urano ten years ago, where he lost by a short head to Rogue Angel.

The Racing Post subscription, valued at over £100 per month, also provides access to award-winning journalism from top racing writers, offering insights and analysis beyond the raw data.

As the Kerry National approaches, racing enthusiasts will be eager to see if You Oughta Know can continue its winning streak in the feature race of the festival.
