Cheltenham Day 3: Flooring Porter retains Stayers' Hurdle

 Earlier, Allaho ran his rivals into the ground to become only the second horse to claim successive victories in the Ryanair Chase at Cheltenham.

Flooring Porter has won the Paddy Power Stayers' Hurdle for jockey Danny Mullins and trainer Gavin Cromwell.

Defending their title after winning the race last season, Mullins and the gelding made all of the running having started at 4-1 and were comfortable victors, to the delight of the Galway syndicate that owns Flooring, famously bought for €10,000 off a Facebook ad in 2018.
