FLOORING PORTER shaped as if needing the run when fourth behind Home By The Lee, Bob Olinger and Ashdale Bob in a Grade 2 at Navan last month so is taken to come out on top this time and make up for his rather unfortunate defeat in this last year. Zanahiyr had excuses when down the field in the same race and is likely to be a bigger threat this time.
