Elliott hoping for another Grey day

GORDON Elliott, whose already superb season includes winners at the Cheltenham and Aintree Festivals, heads to Ayr this afternoon hoping that National Hunt Chase winner Chicago Grey can give him a first victory in the Scottish Grand National.

“There are a lot of runners and you need a lot of luck but the horse is in good form and we’re looking forward to it,” said Elliott.

“He’s come out of the Cheltenham race fine and he’s a very clean-winded horse.
