Elliott outlines running plans in search of fourth National success

Gordon would like to run four in the Randox as he searches for a fourth win in the race.

Elliott famously trained Tiger Roll to back-to-back successes in 2018 and 2019, having already tasted glory with Silver Birch in 2007 before he had even trained a winner in Ireland.

This year his team is smaller than in recent seasons, with Conflated, Fil Dor, Coko Beach and potentially Three Card Brag lining up.

“I think we’ll get four into it. Conflated is near the top,” said Elliott.

“Look, he’s got plenty of weight and would he stay the trip would be a worry.

“Coko Beach has a good chance, he’d be a great spin for somebody to get, again the trip might be a worry.

“Fil Dor, I  like him. I think if the ground is soft he could run very well.

“Three Card Brag is probably the one unexposed horse in the race. He needs three or four to come out still to get in, but if he gets in he could run well.”
