Gordon Elliott Cheltenham 2027: What to Watch
Elliott's main stable jockey partnerships and his record of running horses in conditions they're suited to make his team among the safest to follow at ante-post stage. Key factors to monitor:
- Festival entries published approximately 6 weeks before Cheltenham (late January 2027)
- Elliott often runs horses in multiple entries — final declarations (5 days before each race) confirm runners
- Watch for horses who won at the Dublin Racing Festival (early February) — these frequently go on to Cheltenham
- Elliott's novice chasers from the previous season are often best value at 10/1+ ante-post
Ante-Post Betting on Gordon Elliott Horses
Taking ante-post prices on Elliott runners carries non-runner risk — if a horse is withdrawn before the race, your stake is lost unless the bookmaker offers NRNB (Non-Runner No Bet) terms. Always check whether the offer is NRNB before committing at ante-post prices.
Best strategy: wait for the Dublin Racing Festival (early February 2027) confirmation before placing ante-post bets on Elliott's key novices. The festival often clarifies which horses are on target and in what form.
