Verdict
FLOORING PORTER, dual winner of the Stayers’ Hurdle here, is greatly favoured by the conditions of this contest if taking to fences. Should the eight-year-old’s jumping not be up to scratch, Weveallbeencaught could be the one to take advantage as he ran well in two starts here over hurdles last season before stepping out of his comfort zone and has already won a point-to-point. Toss Again, beaten in a match last time at Killarney, is conceding the selection 10lb and Broadway Boy is conceding 5lb, though jumped well in the main at Worcester.
