Rachael Blackmore said she was thinking of tragic young rider Jack de Bromhead after steering Envoi Allen to win the Ladbrokes Champion Chase at Down Royal on Saturday.
Envoi Allen was having his second start over three miles and took a while to warm to his task but arrived on the outside going well turning in.
It was going to be a battle to the line with Kemboy and Conflated still in contention, despite the favourite Galvin dropping tamely away.
