Elliott Targets Troytown Hat-Trick Gordon Elliott has entered 14 horses in a bid to win the Ladbrokes Troytown Handicap Chase for the third consecutive year at Navan on November 27. Elliott took the big prize with Balbriggan in 2014 and again 12 months ago with Riverside City, who is back in contention. Elliott is also responsible for, among others, Cheltenham Festival winners Cause Of Causes and Empire Of Dirt. The last three winners of the Irish National - Rogue Angel, Thunder And Roses and Shutthefrontdoor - are on the list. Shutthefrontdoor, trained by Jonjo O'Neill, spearheads a strong UK entry that also features David Pipe's Katkeau and a Rebecca Curtis quintet. Navan racecourse manager Peter Killeen said: "It's great to see our flagship race, the Ladbrokes Troytown Handicap Chase, attracting such a strong entry with all the top trainers well represented. "All of us here at Navan are really excited about what is our busiest meeting of the year and with some of the star horses that have been entered, it's certainly looking like we are going to have a very attractive offering for our racegoers on the day."
