Trainer Gordon Elliott is likely to run at least two of his quartet of entrants in the Cross Country Chase at Cheltenham on Friday.

The Meath man intends for both Conflated and Delta Work to line up, with the possibility of a third runner in the race.

Speaking at Fairyhouse on Tuesday, Elliott said: “Conflated and Delta Work will run in the cross country chase at Cheltenham on Friday once the ground is safe.

“They schooled well this morning, and we might run Flanking Maneuver as well.

“I entered Galvin to see what mark he has but you may not see him until March. It could be cross country and then National for him.”
