Verdict

Champion Bumper winner ENVOI ALLEN looked every inch a star in the making last season, winning all four starts. He promises to be better still over hurdles and it would be a disappointment should be meet with defeat here. His trainer saddled five winners here yesterday and should be at it again now. The long-absent Zenon is a fascinating runner for Willie Mullins, while Entoucas got close to last year's Supreme Novice on one occasion and may yet have more to offer.
