SO, if Jessica Harrington can train Cheltenham Gold Cup winners and Irish Grand National winners over jumps and still be able to send out Torcedor to win Group 3 races and Khukri to win listed races on the flat, there is no reason why Gordon Elliott can’t be leading trainer at Cheltenham and still train two-year-old winners as well.

Beckford looked good in winning the six-furlong auction maiden at the Curragh on Saturday, Elliott’s first two-year-old winner, Elliott’s first two-year-old runner.
