Gordon Elliott Grand National runners in full as Meath trainer aims to make history

Gordon Elliott runs five horses in this year's Grand National as he aims to win it for a record-equalling fourth time.

The Meath handler was a relatively unknown 29-year-old when he became the youngest ever trainer to win it with Silver Birch in 2007, before Tiger Roll added further victories in 2018 and 2019.

His runners this time around are Delta Work (Keith Donoghue), Galvin (Davy Russell), Dunboyne (Jack Tudor), Fury Road (Jonjo O’Neill Jnr), Coko Beach (Harry Cobden), while Escaria Ten is a non-runner.

The trainer said: “If I had to pick a horse to ride this year, it would be Delta Work. He got a little bit far back early last year, but ran a very good race.

“He was a bit careful, but he is in great form now and we couldn’t be happier with him.”

He added: “With Galvin, the drier the ground, the better chance he has.

“He will have come on a lot from Cheltenham and is in good form. We are very, very happy with him.”
