Weather Watch For Don Poli Gordon Elliott is keen to run Don Poli in the JNwine.com Champion Chase at Down Royal on Saturday, as long as conditions are suitable. Elliott would like to see rainfall in the build-up to the Grade One over three miles as the seven-year-old edges closer towards making his debut for the County Meath handler. Don Poli, owned by Gigginstown House Stud, won three races at the highest level for former trainer Willie Mullins and was last seen finishing third in the Punchestown Gold Cup in April. "Don Poli is one I'd like to run," Elliott told the Irish TImes. "He has done some good bits of work but if the ground is better we may run something else."
