Verdict

FLOORING PORTER proved to be a revelation last season, producing a high-class performance when landing the Stayers' Hurdle in March. His subsequent effort at Punchestown is best ignored in isolation and he gets the nod to come out on top. Sire du Berlais, who took this 12 months ago, was runner-up behind the selection at Cheltenham and can emerge as the chief threat.
