🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
His last victory came at Listowel nearly 18 months ago, which gives some sense of how long it has been since he found the winner's enclosure. Recent form has been modest: in his last six runs, his best effort was a second place, and he has twice finished fifth. He's been away for 64 days now and comes back after a short break. In top-level races — the Class 1 company where he has mostly competed — he has won just 1 of 7, which underlines how tough that level is for him.
Keith Donoghue has ridden him eight times and won twice from those mounts, a partnership win rate of 25 per cent. He races for Gavin Cromwell's yard at Navan in County Meath, a stable that has been in fine form with 94 winners already this season. At 11 years old, Flooring Porter is a veteran, but horses of his age can still find races to win if conditions and company suit. His Cheltenham record suggests he's at his best there — a place where even an aging campaigner with his track record can still fancy his chances.
