Gordon Elliott is contemplating running Gerri Colombe in the Fitzdares Fleur de Lys Chase at Windsor on January 19.

Last season's Gold Cup runner-up, who went on to win the Betfair Bowl at Aintree subsequently, made a lacklustre return to action in the autumn at Down Royal when he trailed in a well-beaten third behind Envoi Allen.
