FormscanBy Alan Magee - ENJOY D’ALLEN gets the vote. The French-bred gelding won a point-to-point in decisive fashion at Tinahely last year and has shown promise over hurdles for current connections including when just denied by Somptueux in a maiden here in June. The six-year-old has been placed on both outings since switched to fences and his latest effort when runner-up to favourite The Shunter at Punchestown can be upgraded having made a bad mistake at the first and also pulled a shoe. Gordon Elliott supplies two dangers in the shape of Cherif De L’isle and Soldier At War who were both of a similar standard to the selection over hurdles. Ingleby Mackenzie won four times (3 hurdles/1 Flat) in the space of ten weeks on good ground back in 2018 and looks capable of adding to that tally over fences judged on a couple of outings this summer.
