JRL Group Liverpool Hurdle (Grade 1) (GBB Race)
3m 149y
Going: Good to Soft (Good in places)
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneThe Stayers' Hurdle form is well represented here, with three of the first four from that race squaring off again, and FLOORING PORTER, who landed his second successive win in the Cheltenham feature that day, is hard to oppose. Gavin Cromwell's seven-year-old once again demonstrated his jumping prowess when making all at the Prestbury Park venue just over three weeks ago and can further cement his place at the top of the staying division. The strong-travelling Champ finished in fourth on that occasion but may be able to reverse form with runner-up Thyme Hill, who is defending his crown in this race, having beaten that rival when landing the Long Walk at Ascot in December.
