Envoi Allen versus Asterion Forlonge

[Kevloaf]

Who wins today ...

[The King Pimm]

I do think this will be EA’s toughest test yet, I really hope Asterion goes of in front and is relentless to see how Envoi copes

[jonthehammer]

No PT on board Asterion today, injured after his fall on Youmdor

[Jorvik]

So nervous/excited I could shit a labrador. Has to be Envoi if he's half what we hope.

This is the most excited I've been for a race since Cheltenham!

I do agree it will probably be Envois hardest challenge yet, but I'm confident it's one he will overcome. I am nervous though!

[KingSprinterSacre]

Envoi. Comfortable by a few lengths if everyone completes (which hopefully they do). Envoi will put serious pressure on AF jumping.

[Kevloaf]

Weight no object.

[BookieBasher]

If and hopefully when Envoi wins today then surely a betting without Envoi market will open very soon

[Brooksie]

AF to show EA who the real boss is

Love this quote. Accurately describes my current feelings..

Logic tells me that Envoi is probably not as good as he's looked. But he may need to be to win today.
His form is very good, but not outstanding. It's just that he looks outstanding doing it.

But it would be no surprise if he were good enough, and his main rival today could also under perform for some reason (jumping most likely).

But as mentioned previously, at the prices and given the conditions, I've backed Asterion to win today.
8pts 5/2.

[FinalFurlong91]

11lbs is a lot of weight to concede to a grade 1 horse

Head says asterion heart says envoi

if envoi wins convincingly today he surely goes off 1/3 at Cheltenham

[taylorch1990]

Have to side with Envoi especially now it seems Gordon's stable seem to be back in better form. But absolutely looking forward to it.

[Big Bucks]

When he wins today what price does Envoi go?

[Kautothegreat8]

Is anyone slightly concerned this race may leave a lasting mark on Envoi if he was to get into an extreme battle in beating AF ?
