ENVOI ALLEN is closing on his 12th birthday but has an outstanding record at this fixture and can bring the house down and become the first 3-time winner of this Grade 1. Spillane's Tower was a little disappointing in the King George and Punchestown Gold Cup on his final 2 outings last season but this 7-y-o still has time on his side and can bounce back and provide the chief threat ahead of Found A Fifty, who steps up to 3m for the first time now.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: This could develop into a sprint for home, and Western Fold could be well placed to capitalise: Of the better-fancied horses, Spillane's Tower is most likely to be ridden furthest from the pace.
Individual Price Hint: Affordale Fury traded at 10% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP on 2 of its last 2 starts.
