Gordon Elliott has won this for the last three years with smart Bumper horses and ENVOI ALLEN looked from the top drawer after his win last month and it will be disappointing if he can't maintain his unbeaten record. Well Set Up is interesting back after his absence and can chase home the selection with Midnight Run taken for minor honours.
