Flooring Porter has every chance in Stayers’ Hurdle says breakthrough jockey

Jonathan Moore says Flooring Porter is not a flash in the pan and thinks he has every chance of providing him with a first Cheltenham Festival winner in the Paddy Power Stayers' Hurdle.

Flooring Porter was rated 122 at the start of the season, but that mark has soared up to 159 following his emphatic all-the-way win in the Christmas Hurdle at Leopardstown and he has emerged as a shock but genuine Stayers' Hurdle contender and is priced between 10-1 and 18-1 for that contest.

Some have questioned Flooring Porter's credentials given where he has come from, but the man who knows him best believes he is a force to be reckoned with.
