Cossack remains a possible for Thurles

Gordon Elliott will consider letting stable star Don Cossack turn out for next week’s Kinloch Brae Chase at Thurles.

The eight-year-old was last seen claiming his second Grade One over fences with a most impressive display in the John Durkan Memorial Chase at Punchestown, after which Elliott suggested his charge might not run again until the Cheltenham Festival.

Don Cossack missed the action over the festive period as planned, but Elliott has given him an entry in Thursday’s Grade Two feature in County Tipperary and there is every chance he could take his chance.
