Abacadabras hunting Honeysuckle scalp as Elliott eyes more Fairyhouse riches
Apple's Jade, Don Cossack and Envoi Allen are just some of the stars who have shone for Gordon Elliott on Sunday's big stage at Fairyhouse and now the trainer is turning to the next generation at Cullentra House to continue his recent domination of the fixture.
Elliott completed a clean sweep of Sunday's Grade 1s back in 2017 when Mengli Khan, Death Duty and Apple's Jade did the business and four years on Aintree Hurdle winner Abacadabras will captain a fresh team against the mighty Honeysuckle in the baroneracing.com Hatton's Grace Hurdle.
The trainer has a staggering 29 entries on the Fairyhouse card, with the unbeaten Mighty Potter and Three Stripe Life both given the green light to contest the baroneracing.com Royal Bond, while Fury Road and Grand Paradis will represent him in the Drinmore Novice Chase, which is also sponsored by Bar One.
