Navan holds its flagship meeting today as 18 runners go to post for the BAR 1 Betting Troytown Handicap Chase (Grade 3).

Gordon Elliott has nine runners in this year's renewal, and two of them are at the top of the market: The Wallpark, the choice of Jack Kennedy, and The Enabler are currently 5/1 joint favourites.

Following 6mm of rain overnight, the going at Navan is good to yielding, yielding in places on the hurdles track, while it is yielding, good to yielding in places on the chase track.

There is a damp morning forecast at the County Meath venue, but it is to dry up and become brighter moving into the afternoon. The hurdle track also has six yards of fresh ground available.

The John Lynch Carpets & Flooring Monksfield Novice Hurdle (Grade 3) is the supporting act on the card. Grade One bumper winner With No Limit bids to retain his unbeaten record over obstacles as he takes on Willie Mullins' royally-owned Reaching High.

The concluding Coolmore N.H. Sires Hurricane Lane Irish EBF Mares INH Flat Race (Listed Race) sees Sarahs Lawn as a warm favourite as she attempts to score for the third time in bumpers despite having to give weight to her rivals.
