Elliott hoping Abacadabras can conjure up some magic

Gordon Elliott is hoping for the best possible ground at Cheltenham today to boost the chance of Abacadabras in the Sky Bet Supreme Novices’ Hurdle.

Fourth in the Champion Bumper last year, his sole defeat in four runs over timber came at the hands of unbeaten stablemate Envoi Allen, and he remains the only horse to seriously push him in a race.
