Verdict
ENKI FLACKE is Gordon Elliott’s sole representative following the defection of Salvador Ziggy and should complete his hat-trick despite carrying a double penalty and dropping back down in trip after a couple of wins here over 2m4f. Toucan Sam is held on the form book while all-weather winner Simple Star is making his hurdling debut.
