When given with the opportunity to train Presenting Percy, Gordon Elliott was also presented with a great opportunity to win a second Cheltenham Gold Cup or, indeed, a fourth Grand National. More importantly, however, is the fact he is part of a team which will help him challenge for that thus-far elusive trainers’ championship.

When asked if he could have just one wish for the season ahead, without hesitation Elliott replied: “To be champion trainer.”
