Gordon Elliott is sure Conflated will be “in the mix” for the Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup after deciding against bidding for back-to-back victories in Irish Gold Cup at Leopardstown last weekend.
The nine-year-old was a surprise winner when he took home victory in the big race at the Dublin Racing Festival last year.
Yet he proved it was no fluke when he ran well in the before falling, while also pushing Clan Des Obeaux close in the Aintree Bowl later in the season.
