“WHAT a horse, incredible! Amazing, what else can you say?” Henry de Bromhead enthused after Envoi Allen landed the BetVictor Champion Chase for a third time in four years.

Registering his 10th win at the highest level, the evergreen 11-year-old was returned an 11/4 chance and, while content to track the leaders early on, he moved right into contention from four out, improving to dispute the lead from the next.
