ENVOI ALLEN can emerge as the ace in a talent-filled Irish pack. He’s unbeaten in three for Gordon Elliott, has the talented Jamie Codd doing the steering and looks like he will revel in the testing underfoot conditions.
BLUE SARI can make it an Irish one-two by endorsing the promise of his debut win at Gowran where he displayed a venomous turn of foot at the business end. MASTER DEBONAIR and CASCOVA offer tempting Each Way value from the local contingent.
