Envoi Allen
1.30 Cheltenham
SP forecast 11-10

Has not really moved from the top of one ante-post list or another since winning last year's Champion Bumper. He has earned the right to be favourite for this race, as his rating is slightly above the average for the top-rated on pre-race RPRs. However, he does seem pretty short considering and there is loads in the way of untapped potential behind him in this race.

Conclusion The likeliest winner, but 5-4 looks skinny. Do not be scared to take him on.
