Cotswold Chase emerges as possible option for Gerri Colombe
Savills Chase at Leopardstown is his alternative for Gold Cup prep.
Gerri Colombe will have Leopardstown or Cheltenham next on the agenda as Gordon Elliott eyes one more run before a shot at the Gold Cup in March. Beaten only once in six starts over the larger obstacles, the stamina of Gordon Elliott’s seven-year-old came to the fore when making a winning return at Down Royal earlier this month. Now he has either the Savills Chase – the traditional Christmas destination for Ireland’s top staying chasers – or the Cotswold Chase on Festival Trials Day on January 27 as his big-race options in preparation for his main March objective.🌟A THRILLER! 🌟
Gerri Colombe pulls the Grade 1 @Ladbrokes Champion Chase out of the fire with a stirring late charge. It’s a remarkable effort on his first try outside of novice company, against high-class, race-fit rivals.@gelliott_racing | @jackkennedy15 | @Downroyal pic.twitter.com/yHI7uDkzS6— Racing TV (@RacingTV) November 11, 2023
