Envoi Allen can defy advancing years and land Down Royal feature

DOWN ROYAL SPECIALIST: Envoi Allen en route to winning last year's Champion Chase at Down Royal for a second time. He can complete a hat-trick on Saturday.  Picture: Healy Racing

The BetVictor Champion Chase on Saturday afternoon’s card in Down Royal is the first Grade One of the National Hunt season and despite rising 12, Envoi Allen can take the race for the third time.

Trained by Henry de Bromhead, he won this in 2022 and 2024 and finished runner-up to Gerri Colombe in 2023. Clearly, this is a good time of year for him, he loves this venue, and at this stage of his career, this has got to be a leading target for his season.
