Envoi Allen to have his 'last hurrah in the Gold Cup' at Cheltenham

“We’ll have him primed for Cheltenham and give it a go. The Thompsons are keen to do it, and so are we. The plan is for it to be his last start, though if he bolted up in that we might have to rethink it!”

At his Knockeen Stables in Co Waterford, Henry de Bromhead played host to the launch of the Christmas festival in Leopardstown and while he will be strongly represented over the course of the four days, he revealed that stable stalwart Envoi Allen will not be amongst the flock heading for the Foxrock festivities.

Instead, the veteran will go straight to Cheltenham where he will put a line under a stellar career with an audacious tilt at the Gold Cup.
