Going - Hurdle/bumper tracks - Yielding, Good to Yielding in places; Chase course - Good to Yielding, Good in places. Dry and bright

Formscan By Donal Murphy - Despite his advancing years, ENVOI ALLEN looks the one to beat. Five from six at the venue, he won this race in 2022 and again 12-months ago, going down by just a neck in the 2023 renewal. Spillane's Tower just edges the selection on ratings, but he failed to score in three starts last term and while very talented, he might be best watched on his return. With race fitness on his side, the rapidly improving Western Fold looks the pick of Gordon Elliott's three. Jack Kennedy has somewhat surprisingly opted to partner Found A Fifty, with this Bective Stud-owned eight-year-old found wanting at the highest level last season. However, he does run well fresh and is two from two at Down Royal. The Albert Bartlett winner of 2024, Stellar Story is another that warrants the utmost respect.
