NOT A PIPE DREAM Wodhooh delivers and, left, Brighterdaysahead

Now the Cullentra maestro plans to start where he finished - armed with his most powerful team in almost a decade.

Elliott is steaming into the Festival with an electric squad headed by Champion Hurdle charge Brighterdaysahead.

He has massive chances all week, among them Stayers' Hurdle favourites Teahupoo and Honesty Policy. Not to mention talented youngsters El Cairos, Ballyfad and Skylight Hustle, with solid sticks Western Fold and handicap snips such as Favori De Champdou supported by a stellar team of jockeys led by Jack Kennedy.

He reckons 2018 was the last time he was stacked with such talent for the Cotswolds and doesn't intend hanging around until the death this time.
