Despite current champion Don Cossack being retired, Gordon Elliott still has Outlander and Don Poli in the Gold Cup picture.

The pair finished first and second respectively in the Lexus Chase at Leopardstown over Christmas and remain on track for a trip to Cheltenham in March.

"Outlander will go straight to Cheltenham. He'll be entered at Leopardstown, but we'll have Don Poli for that and Empire Of Dirt," he told At The Races.

"Outlander has had four runs already so we'll freshen him up and just go for the Gold Cup."
