It remains to be seen whether FLOORING PORTER is granted as soft a lead as he was at Cheltenham but his slick hurdling is a real asset and he still has to be considered the one to beat. Last year's winner Thyme Hill can confirm recent superiority over Champ and give Gavin Cromwell's charge most to think about.
