Davy Russell has declared himself fit to partner the unbeaten six-year-old, having missed several midweek rides with an ankle problem. "Envoi Allen is a big, strong horse with a lot of ability," he said. "Midnight Run won a bumper here and won a maiden hurdle very impressively," said O'Brien. "We backed him up in the Royal Bond, where he disappointed us, but we think he's a very high-class horse. It's a fantastic race, and over the last few years it's been a great trial for Cheltenham."
