GAVIN OUT TO FLOOR RIVALS

Porter leads the way on a big day for Cromwell

- RYAN MCELLIGOTT

GAVIN CROMWELL could be the man to follow at Navan this afternoon where he has every chance of a treble headed by his Cheltenham hero Flooring Porter.

In the Grade 2 Lismullen Hurdle Flooring Porter makes his first start of the season and he is hard to oppose.

He may not have been at his best on his final start last season but previously he was a superb winner of the Stayers Hurdle at Cheltenham.

He also won a Grade 1 at Leopardstown last Christmas and he landed a high class handicap hurdle at this track last December.

Ideally Flooring Porter would prefer a longer trip but the same could be said for several of his rivals and he could also get an easy lead here which would make him dangerous.
