Henry de Bromhead and Gordon Elliot will face-off in the Ladbrokes Champion Chase.
Two of Ireland's most decorated trainers go head to head tomorrow as Gordon Elliott and Henry De Bromhead battle it out in the Ladbrokes Champion Chase at Down Royal.Gerri Colombe has suffered only one defeat in his career, a narrow loss to The Real Whacker in the Brown Advisory at Cheltenham earlier this year but he has been stellar everywhere else – including a stunningly dominant victory in the Mildmay at Aintree.
Conflated, a nine-year-old gelding owned by Gigginstown House Stud, also enjoyed Grade One success last term when taking the Savills Chase at Leopardstown before finishing third in the Cheltenham Gold Cup behind Galopin Des Champs. “He needed it badly. He’d been a little bit delayed after a setback and we said we’d give him a run to get him fit and you’ll see an awful lot of improvement in him.”
Richard Thompson of owners Cheveley Park Stud said: “He was a bit disappointing last time out, a bit rusty.“He’s won eight Grade Ones now, he’s a three-time Cheltenham winner and has been fantastic for us.”
