Meade hoping Burgas can blossom at Navan Noel Meade reports Burgas on course for the Ladbrokes Troytown Handicap Chase at Navan on Sunday. Meade won the €100,000 prize with another Gigginstown gelding Tout Est Permis last season and is hopeful Burgas can step up after having had a wind operation. The French-bred gelding is yet to strike over fences, having been placed nine times, and is generally a 20/1 shot for the competitive three-mile contest. Meade said:- “Burgas definitely runs in the Troytown and De Name Escapes Me might run. I’ll have to talk to Frank (Berry) about it. “Burgas has had a wind op and hopefully that will sort him out as he wasn’t getting home. I’m very happy with the way he worked this week. “It will be a hard task first time out (this season) but he’s in good form and likes soft ground.” Meade also had news of exciting novice hurdler Sixshooter:- “Sixshooter may run at Navan in the Monksfield. We’ll see what Gigginstown want to do as he’s also entered at Gowran on Saturday.”
