Very few National Hunt trainers in Ireland have risen up the ranks as quickly as Gordon Elliott.

Having burst onto the scene by saddling Silver Birch to win the Grand National at Aintree in 2007, at which point he had not trained a single winner in Ireland, he was firmly established as a top five trainer by 2010/11.

For the last two seasons, he has been crowned the leading trainer at the Cheltenham Festival and has pushed Willie Mullins all the way in the race for Champion National Hunt Trainer in Ireland.

Having established a lucrative partnership with the powerful Gigginstown House Stud, Elliott has an abundance of well-bred and promising young horses to go to war with.

He spoke to Kevin Blake of attheraces.com to tell us about them and the rest of his stable stars.

He’s a very nice horse that looked good when he won his point-to-point. He’ll start off in a bumper as soon as we get a bit of rain.

Form profile

A 158-rated hurdler, she is a seven-time Grade 1 winner over hurdles that most memorably won a thrilling renewal of the Mares’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival in 2017.

Trainer says

She’s in great form. She just kept coming into season in the second half of last season and I think it held her back from showing her best at Cheltenham and Punchestown. We’ve made a few changes with her and the plan is to go much the same route as last season. All being well she’ll end up in the Mares’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, but the Stayers’ Hurdle could be a possibility too.

A 151-rated hurdler, he won the Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival and the Irish Daily Mirror Novice Hurdle at the Punchestown Festival in 2017 prior to missing all of last season through injury.

Trainer says

He’s on the way back. His form has worked out quite well in his absence and I think he could be a good horse if we can keep him right. The plan is to go novice chasing with him and he’s probably more of a three-miler. There’s a chance that he might be better on better ground.

Trainer says

He looks like one that will make up into a nice staying novice chaser this season. His best run last season was arguably his last one when he was second in a Grade 1 novice hurdle at the Punchestown Festival, so he seemed to get better as the season went on.

He picked up an injury soon after that which ruled him out for the remainder of that season and for all of last season.

Trainer says

He’s back and the plan is to go to the JNWine.com Champion Chase at Down Royal with him. He’s working well and I’m very happy with him. The Aintree Grand National would always be in the back of your mind with a horse like him, but we’ll give him a campaign in Grade 1 chases before then and see how he gets on.

Trainer says

He’s in great form, but we haven’t made up our mind as to whether he’ll stay hurdling or go chasing yet. We had it in our heads to run at Down Royal in early November, but with the ground being as it is, we might have to wait a bit longer. Trip wise, I think he’ll be effective at whatever distance we run him at. He has the speed and he relaxes, so he should be able to adapt to difference distances. He seems stronger this season, he looks great and he’s showing us all the right signs at home.

He’s a legend of a horse here and owes no one anything. Of course we’re dreaming that he could win another Grand National, but he’ll have top weight so realistically it’s unlikely. He’s only eight years old and we got another couple of good years out of him down the cross country route that would be fantastic.
