The unbeaten Envoi Allen will prove his star quality if he successfully concedes 11lb to Asterion Forlonge in the Grade Three Sky Bet Killiney Novice Chase in Punchestown tomorrow, the undoubted highlight of the weekend’s domestic action.

Already a five-time Grade One winner, Gordon Elliott’s seven-year-old is a dual Cheltenham Festival winner, having landed the Champion Bumper in 2019 and the Ballymore Novices’ Hurdle last March.
