Southern Vic heads an 18 strong entry for Williamhill.ie Troytown Chase Ted Walsh's, Southern Vic heads an 18 strong field for this Sunday's williamhill.ie Troytown Chase at Navan. The classy seven-year-old, who was allotted top weight of 11st 10lb by Turf Club handicapper, Noel O'Brien, has been the subject of a major ante-post gamble. The sponsor's original quote of 4-1 for the race was quickly snapped up and the bookmakers were forced to cut the gelding from their original quote to 9-4 at the close of business on Thursday. Arthur Moore, who has trained five winners of the Troytown, relies on Jaquouille (9-11) for the race, while Noel Meade has declared both Star Clipper (10-7) and No Half Session (10-4) in the three mile contest. Other notable entries at the 48 declaration stage include last year's Powers Whiskey Irish Grand National hero Point Barrow, and Homer Wells, who looks set to bypass the Hennessy Cognac and take his chance in the ?100,000 Navan feature. In the sponsors betting Southern Vic is the 9-4 favourite for the Navan feature. Noel Meade's, No Half Session is the 8-1 second favourite for the race, while Tom Taafe, who rode The Ellier to victory in 1984, trains the third favourite Cane Brake, who is available at 10-1 with the sponsors. Tony Kenny, William Hill's Irish Spokesman commented 'At this moment in time Southern Vic is by far the biggest loser in our field book, but with such a competitive line-up, we remain hopeful of getting a good result' williamhill.ie Troytown Chase: (Sponsors prices) 9/4 Fav' Southern Vic, 8/1 No Half Session, 10/1 Cane Brake, 12/1 Jaquouille, Star Clipper, 14/1 Coljon, Ride The Storm, Rockspring Hero, 16/1 Homer Wells, Lordofourown, 20-1 Kerryhead Windfarm, On The Net, Macs Flamingo, Point Barrow, 25-1 Dublin Hunter, 33-1 Anxious Moments, Camptect, Romaha, All 18 Quoted ?
