Elliott again holds a strong hand in the Troytown Gordon Elliott bids to land the BAR 1 Betting Troytown Handicap Chase for an eighth time at Navan on Sunday and the Cullentra trainer currently has ten of the 23 entries for the highlight of a great weekend of racing at the County Meath venue. The Wallpark and The Enabler are two of Elliott’s main fancies for this €100,000 event, while Better Days Ahead could be another prominent contender. “It is a great race, one that has been very lucky for us. We want to support it as much as we can and we will run as many horses as we can,” Elliott said at a gallops morning at the track last week. Further down the weights, Letos has recently joined local trainer Noel Meade and could play a leading role while the Padraig Roche-trained Win Some Lose Some is another to consider. Navan Racecourse Manager, Ciaran Flynn, said: “We are really looking forward to year four of the BAR 1 Betting Navan Racing Festival with an exciting weekend of racing and live entertainment in store. "BAR 1 Betting’s Barney O’Hare is the Festival’s biggest supporter and I’m delighted to see the entries are so strong. "We can’t wait to welcome racegoers to the track for a great sporting and social weekend and see the enhancements made to the site and racegoer experience since last year’s Festival. The racing is of extremely high calibre with a host of stars in action here across the two days.”
