Willie Mullins and Gordon Elliott have won the last six renewals, and the latter can close the score with the hugely exciting ENVOI ALLEN. Last season's Champion Bumper hero is 2-2 over timber and won the Royal Bond last time from a subsequent Grade 1-winning stablemate in Abacadabras. Connections feel he's ready for this longer trip and he sets the bar fairly high. The champion trainer relies on Elixir D'Ainay, a maiden winner at this track last month. He had Longhouse Poet behind that day, who has won himself since at Navan. At a big price it wouldn't pay to cross of the Joseph O'Brien-trained Anything Will Do will do from snaring some decent prize money.
