IT has been an incredible year for Co Meath trainer Gordon Elliott and among those who work at his Cullentra Stables in Longwood is Amy Parsons who finished out of the placings in the EI90 Amateur class at Tyrella last Saturday but was fifth two weeks earlier on her six-year-old Loughehoe Guy mare Quick Step Up.

The combination were warming up for their cross-country round on Saturday when word came over the PA that the Elliott-trained Tiger Roll had won the Randox Health Grand National.
