Meade's Sportininthepark on course for Troytown Noel Meade enjoyed a good afternoon at Down Royal yesterday with an impressive maiden hurdle win for Blake and a fine run in defeat from Affordale Fury who chased home Envoi Allen in the BetVictor Champion Chase.   Affordable Fury runs in the red and black colours of Philip Polly and the latter also owns recent Galway winner Sportinthepark who took advantage of a hurdles mark of 120 when landing a 2m6f handicap at Ballybrit last weekend. The six-year-old was a winner over fences at Galway just over a year ago before finishing fourth in a Grade 2 novice chase at Punchestown. He was then off the track for 11 months until making a successful seasonal debut under Sam Ewing. Meade is planning to send Sportinthepark, who has a chase rating of 135, back over the larger obstacles at Navan in a fortnight's time. "It's all systems go for the Troytown. He came out of Galway well and he definitely will go to Navan.  "I couldn't believe he got in as light as he did (over hurdles in Galway). He had no mark on his card when we looked him up. When I put him in and we saw he was that low, it was the right thing to do.  "We would think it would have brought him on." Additional reporting by Michael Graham
