Elliott looks ahead with Don Cossack Gordon Elliott retains absolute faith in Don Cossack despite his reverse at Navan earlier this month. The five-year-old carries a huge reputation and bolted up on his debut over hurdles at Navan in November. Sent off at odds-on back at the same venue in Grade One company for the Navan Novice Hurdle, he was beaten when falling after the last as the Willie Mullins-trained Pont Alexandre made every yard in impressive fashion. Elliott said: "He has come back great and although Willie's horse is very good we can put a line through the run. "There will be other days and he might have his next run at the end of January or early February."
