Ahead of the Tattersalls Cheltenham Sale on Friday, Great British Racing International, in conjunction with the sales house, paid a visit to Tom and Gina Ellis in Warwickshire.

The powerful duo - trainer Tom and rider Gina, nee Andrews - talk about their family backgrounds in the sport and their team of around 30 older horses and 20 unraced horses, 18 of whom are three-year-olds.

The couple have had great success for their owners, including a homebreds four-timer a couple of years ago, and also with horses now plying their trade for other trainers and owners, such as recent Colin Tizzard-trained Exeter winner Striking A Pose and Carlisle scorer Harper's Brook, who is with Ben Pauling.

They also talk about British pointing's efforts to catch up with their Irish counterparts.
