ENVOYE SPECIAL hasn't quite been at his best on both hunter starts this year, but he ran a cracker when runner-up in this corresponding event 12 months ago and can go one better if reproducing that sort of form. Envious Editor and Rewritetherules are considered the main threats, though a market move for Fan Club Aulmes would put a different slant on matters.
