Since a third at Navan in December, ENKI FLACKE (NAP) has been beaten quite a long way in maidens at Cork and Punchestown but this looks a much easier assignment and he should stay the extra half-mile. Hogan spread a plate when second to Sundrenched over this trip at Ayr so that effort can probably be upgraded a little. He looks the danger ahead of stablemate Fairly Famous and Bellaney Lord, who is probably the pick of Stuart Crawford’s pair.
