Gavin Cromwell on FLOORING PORTER: "We're happy with him. He's been off the track for quite a while but he's in great shape at home. I know he's 11, but he doesn't seem to think he is. The plan is to go to the Cleeve Hurdle on Saturday week, and he certainly knows his way around Cheltenham. "It's probably a little bit ambitious going to a race like that first start back, but he kind of has to go left-handed. The other option is to go to Gowran for the Galmoy two days before, but it's right-handed and I'd rather just go left. "We're open-minded about what's ahead, but we gave him an entry in the Stayers'. I wouldn't rule out fences this season either, we'll just see how we get on"
Ben Pauling on Handstands:
🗣️ "Handstands goes to the Fleur de Lys on Sunday. We’re considerably wrong at the weights, both on ratings and the fact Protektorat doesn’t get a penalty of any description. We've got to give him 8lb, but we're keen to run.
He had a soft-palate wind operation after the Betfair Chase. We've got enough work into him without having to do too much, and he's in good order."
