I met three or four people coming in racing today and they were maybe slating me for running her.  I'm in a lucky position to be training for the lads (Gigginstown House Stud) and they left it up to me,. I weighed her this morning and she was actually heavier than she was going to Newcastle last week so I said we'll let her take her chance and I'm delighted it worked out.  I was under no pressure but it's great when it works out. I had a good chat with (journalist) Ryan McElligott last night and he said 'if it worked it worked and if it didn't it didn't.'  We took the chance and it's great. We were learning a bit about her to be honest.  To run in the Fighting Fifth last week and coming back here this week is a testament to how good a mare she is. The mares hurdle in Cheltenham will be her Gold Cup. There are a couple of races at the start of February for her. She won't go to Christmas.  She'll have one run before Cheltenham all being well.  Saying that she might run next week! Gordon Elliott, trainer
