Most of these ran in the Grade 2 Lismullen Hurdle at Navan won by Home By The Lee, who caught Bob Olinger on the run-in with Ashdale Bob ten lengths back in third, FLOORING PORTER fourth, Sire Du Berlais fifth and Zanahiyr seventh. That was over 2m4f and Flooring Porter, who has won the Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham for the past two years and finished runner-up to Klassical Dream in this last year, is the one to beat. The runner-up ran very well on his return to hurdling and may prove best of the remainder.
