Last year’s winner Envoi Allen is among ten horses to go forward in the BetVictor Champion Chase at Down Royal on Saturday.
On that occasion Henry De Bromhead’s charge beat Hewick and Gerri Colombe but neither of that pair are in opposition this time around. The main danger would appear to be Spillane’s Tower who finished second in the John Durkan and Punchestown Gold Cup last term.
Gordon Elliott is responsible for half of the field with Better Days Ahead, Croke Park, Found A Fifty, Stellar Story and Western Fold.
Noel Meade’s Affordable Fury, British raider Ga Law, who also has the option of the bet365 Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby, and Flash Collonges complete the field.
