Forecasts

Affordale Fury (9/4), Flooring Porter (11/4), Sandor Clegane (7/2), Favori De Champdou (11/2), Quilixios (15/2), Churchstonewarrior (16/1), Maxxum (25/1)

Verdict

FLOORING PORTER isn't the most obvious chaser on looks and is coming to it relatively late, but he took to it well when making a winning start at Cheltenham on his return and obviously has scope to improve given his hurdling ability. Affordable Fury promises to make a better chase than hurdler so must be feared after beating Favori de Champdou with a bit in hand on his chase bow at Galway.

  1. FLOORING PORTER (IRE)
