PreviewsAll eyes will be on ENVOI ALLEN as he arrives here with both an unbeaten record and as one of the Irish 'bankers' of the week. Last year's Champion Bumper winner has carried all before him since switching to hurdles this term, taking the step up in trip in his stride when landing a second successive Grade 1 at Naas last month. The Cheveley Park-owned gelding must have a fantastic chance of following in the footsteps of his handler's Samcro, who landed this with a similarly lofty reputation in 2018. Sporting John could give him most to think about and there is plenty of substance to the form of his three victories so far. A strong traveller, he has plenty of boot when the button is pressed, and Barry Geraghty is sure to be keeping close to Envoi Allen's tail hoping to pounce up the unforgiving Prestbury Park hill. The Big Breakaway and The Big Getaway have both done little wrong and command plenty of respect, but may be seen to better effect when switched to the larger obstacles. Longhouse Poet represents last year's winning trainer/jockey combination and makes each-way appeal here having finished a respectable third in a Leopardstown Grade 1 over 2m6f at the Dublin Racing Festival.
