The number of Irish winners at Cheltenham stands at 11 at the halfway stage.
Trainer Henry De Bromhead won yesterday's feature, the Champion Chase, with 'Put the Kettle On'.
And the Waterford handler saddles the exciting 'Envoi Allen' in today's Marsh Novices' Chase.
The horse was recently moved by owners Cheveley Park Stud to De Bromhead's yard from the Gordon Elliott stable.

The Tipperary native rides the Willie Mullins trained 'Allaho' in the Ryanair Chase.
The going is good to soft for the first of seven races at 1.20.
