Owners Cheveley Park Stud brought up a double, whilst it was a four-timer for Gordon Elliott on Bar One Hatton’s Grace Day at Fairyhouse as Envoi Allen (4/9 from 8/13 on track and bigger earlier) took the bumper.
Cheveley Park’s Chief Justice set a great day for Elliott in motion in the opener, before Gigginstown’s Delta Work and Apple’s Jade secured the Cullentra House handler Grade One honours (a 62/1 four-timer).
Connections and backers of Colin Bowe’s point-to-point winner were made sweat as Jamie Codd (earlier on the mark in a point-to-point at Ballindenisk) asked for more from the 400,000 pound purchase from before the straight.
However, the big son of Muhtathir got himself organised in time to beat Port Stanley by four lengths in this Royalhousedraw.com (Pro/Am) INH Flat Race.
For the Champion Bumper Paddy Power go 10/1 from 20/1 about Envoi Allen.
However Gordon Elliott (had a winner at the Longford point-to-point today too) said: "He's a nice horse but he’s a horse for next year. We’re only minding him this year.
“He’ll probably have one more run in a bumper and he won’t be going to Cheltenham.
“He’s a baby and has only been on grass once.”
