🗣️ Gordon Elliott on Galway Hurdle hope EL CAIROS, per @DavidJenningsRP:
"He seems to be in very good form and I'm happy with him. I think he's the type of horse who will suit a Galway Hurdle in that he is coming back from a Grade 1 into a handicap."
Across the card English double.Master Haku & @Sean_Bowen_ proves to good on his first trip over to England @MarketRasenRace for owner Kevin Cooke .Closely followed by Newbrook Diamond & @sam_ewing17 in @Cartmelrace who won very easily for owners @KtdaRacing & Nick Courtney

🚨 BREAKING: Romeo Coolio will tackle three miles for the first time at the Cheltenham Festival as Gordon Elliott has opted to run his unbeaten chaser in the Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase rather than the Arkle 24 hours earlier
Dave Rabson, half of the KTDA Racing partnership, has confirmed the ROMEO COOLIO decision will be made on Saturday ⚫️⚪️
"He'll stay in everything. We won’t make a decision until Saturday"
⚫️⚪️ Chris Gordon on ELECTRIC MASON, per @AshIveson.
“He’s got a great chance I hope. It was the obvious race after Haydock.
"I couldn’t see any benefit of running him again before Cheltenham, but he’s in very good order & we’re looking forward to it."
Watching Romeo coolio(red cap) with Jack Kennedy on board @gelliott_racing@CheltenhamRaces . Jockey is as tough as they come. Has some seriously good rides this year
⭐ El Cairos ⭐
All road now lead to the Sky Bet Supreme Novices’ Hurdle for Gordon Elliott’s star. “Probably the fastest horse I have ridden,” says Jack Kennedy 👀
@TheJockeyClub | @CheltenhamRaces | @gelliott_racing
⚫️⚪️ Jack Kennedy on EL CAIROS, per @DaveOrd:
"He’s very good. Obviously, he’s a very fast horse, the fastest I’ve ridden, he’s exciting and hopefully on the up."
👍 Jockey has "no concerns" about his jumping.
Gordon Elliott on El Cairos as he prepares for the Supreme Novices' Hurdle
🗣️ "This chap is rapid. We haven't had too many quicker than him at Cullentra. Jack Kennedy blamed himself for what happened at the last at Thurles. He just felt he didn't ask him to do one thing or the other. Before that, he'd jumped great and settled well in a slowly run race.
"I wanted to go for a race like that at Thurles, rather than a Grade 1 at the Dublin Racing Festival, just to get his confidence up. He's working great, looks great and we're looking forward to the Supreme. It's going to be one hell of a hot race but it'll take a fair one to beat him"
