The first event of Cheltenham's November meeting sees the Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle and we think the Irish have a strong hand in this one.
The Gordon Elliott trained Enki Flacke has been a model of consistency for the yard since being sent over hurdles making his debut back in November at Fairyhouse when seventh behind the smart Grangee.
A better third at Navan behind the likes if Au Fleuron and Ha D'or, he then went to Cork in January and again had to settle for third behind Ebasari and Adamantly Chosen.
His last run of last season saw him finish another fair fifth in a 20 runner Maiden behind the smart Kilcruit and since then he has gone unbeaten.
Given a break he returned in May at Perth when getting off the mark over 2m4f by 11 lengths and then over the same C&D under a penalty scored again.
Making it a hat-trick at Perth, this time at two miles, he was an impressive winner under a double penalty and now handicapping off a mark of 122 with the talented Sam Ewing taking 3lb off, he looks interesting.
