Gordon Elliott already has a Festival target planned for Traffic Article (8-1), whose undoubted stamina saw him through the Cheltenham Racecourse iPhone App Novices' Chase for another Irish victory.

"We brought him over for a bit of experience as we've always had the four-miler in mind for him," said Elliott. "I suppose he could come back for a race over three-mile-three at the next meeting, but he has been in training for quite a long time."
