Jack Kennedy has lauded the "brilliant" jumping of Envoi Allen ahead of the baroneracing.com Drinmore Novice Chase and believes his book of rides at Fairyhouse on Sunday to be the "best I've ever had".

Gordon Elliott had a staggering 34 entries at the five-day forfeit stage and Kennedy will be on the best of them. As well as Envoi Allen, there is Ballyadam in the Royal Bond, Fury Road in the Hatton's Grace and ante-post Triumph Hurdle favourite Quilixios in the Grade 3 juvenile hurdle.

He will have the pick of quite a few in the €125,000 Porterstown Handicap Chase too as Elliott is responsible for 11 of the 33 entries.
