Gordon Elliott expects Teahupoo to 'take a bit of beating' at Punchestown as he eyes strong finish to the season
It is very much a case of 200 not out as Gordon Elliott hopes to finish what could prove to be his best ever season numerically with a bang at next week's Punchestown festival, and all three of his Cheltenham winners are set to make an appearance.
Elliott reached a notable landmark at Tramore on Monday when Touch Me Not provided him with a 200th winner in Ireland this season, a feat he has achieved only once before.
