PRESTBURY SIGN OFF SUITS ENVOI

END IN SIGHT Cheltenham could be Envoi Allen's last hurrah

- BY ALAN MAGEE

ENVOI Allen will head straight to the Cheltenham Gold Cup for what will be his likely swansong in the spring.

Henry de Bromhead's TI-year-old rolled back the years for the 17th victory of his career in the Champion Chase at Down Royal last month and the decision has now been made to keep the three-time Festival winner fresh for one “last hurrah” in the blue riband at Prestbury Park.

“Envoi Allen is really good and we've agreed he will have his last hurrah in the Gold Cup and we're really looking forward to that," said De Bromhead.
