Gordon Elliott hopes that the protagonist BrightS

Gordon Elliott tells you that he has continued, but the grimace that accompanies the story that tells about his last expedition of Cheltenham with BrightdayDaysahead says something different.

Brightdaysahead is a mare that Elliott loves; Once she said that if she was human, she would be a movie star and “beautiful” is a word that often appears in discussions about her. She has the potential on Tuesday to be the protagonist of Cheltenham and the Arch arch in a dramatic act.

The clash between her and Constitution Hill in The Champion Hurdle is what the sport is about and there is no doubt that Michael O'Leary, Ryanair's chief of Irascible and the owner of Brightdaysahead, made the right call to allow him to run in this race instead of the easiest mares.

Trust is not something that Elliott has lacked and he has a brighter template prepared to run for his life, but, again, the same was true 12 months ago when he reached the course in the midst of such a feverish talk that it was impossible to see her beaten in the rookies of the mares.

But this is Cheltenham, the glorious unpredictable sand where even certainties sink. It was supposed to be a two -horse race between her and Jade de Grgy, from the courtyard of Willie Mullins, but until the generalized disbelief, both were beaten. And how Elliott is greased.

“I couldn't believe it,” he said with a shock of his head. 'I thought she was the banker of the week, but I blame for everything. We are wrong in tactics, but you never stop learning in this game. It was a long week.

It was a week successfully. Teahupoo, who will defend his crown again, was excellent in the obstacle of the stiletto, while better days ahead showed class bags to take Martin Pipe's conditional obstacle, a race that means a lot for Elliott given his time as a jockey with the master coach.

But isn't it true, whatever sport, that defeats stay with you for a longer time? Elliott is certainly demonstrating that this will be the case, so the opportunity to be ghostly and become the first teacher in a defeat of Constitution Hill is enormous.

“You could be waiting for a lot of time to get a mare like her again,” Elliott said. 'If she wins, it will have been the right race to go. Last year, she was rhythm and that was my fault. I told (Jockey) Jack (Kennedy): “Don't prepare the race for Paul Townend doing the race.”

'To be fair, Willie probably told Paul! The two seemed to be looking at each other (Ace Golden) went through them as a bullet.

'Both won the degree in a few weeks of the festival. I have to continue returning to what Jack tells me: he tells me not to accelerate, simply gallop. It has a high cruise speed and it is difficult to stop it when it reaches it. She is relentless. It is also Elliott, who has rebuilt his career after a suspension four years ago after a photograph of him sitting on a dead horse was released.

He has had 40 Cheltenham victories so far, the pinnacle is the 2016 Gold Cup with Don Cossack, and there will surely be more this week. He speaks with enthusiasm about Wodhooh's possibilities in Martin Pipe on Friday and Willitgohead is an interesting recruit for the persecution of stous hunters from St James. “I was lucky to train eight winners there once (in 2018),” said Elliott.

'I say the same every year: I will disappoint me if' only 'we have a winner. We had two last year, but we simply did not get the friction of green with six seconds.

However, the one who remembers clearly is the one who could give him a first champion obstacle. “It's hard to say that she is the best I've had, but it's very, very good,” he emphasizes. “But she knows how to win, and that's what you want from them.”
