A couple of the regulars can come to the fore again, with FLOORING PORTER taken to land this prize for the first time following a mighty effort in the Stayers' Hurdle. Sire du Berlais, seeking a third straight win in this, seems sure to go well after flying home at Cheltenham. Hiddenvalley Lake impressed when winning the Boyne 9 weeks ago and is an interesting alternative given his lightly-raced profile.
