Cromwell & Moore double up with Porter

Flooring Porter rallied gamely to give Gavin Cromwell and Jonathan Moore a quick double at Gowran Park this afternoon.

Half an hour after Luis Van Zandt s victory the pair struck again in the three-mile handicap hurdle on the card.

Flooring Porter was sent to post a 15/2 shot and came to join front-runner Roi De Dubai turning for home.

He gained a narrow lead going to the second last but was soon joined by Cusp Of Carabelli

That rival produced a better jump at the last to take the advantage but Flooring Porter found plenty on the run-in to get his head back in front and record a half length win.

The winner was last seen finishing runner-up to Seskinane at Navan in February.

Cromwell said:- “He runs well fresh and showed that there today although he ran with the choke out all the way.

“It was a good performance with top-weight and he battled well after the last. 

“He might go for the 2m6f handicap in Galway on the Friday. It’s worth a good few quid so he’ll probably go there.”
