Local trainers are eyeing big-race glory in Sunday’s Bar One Racing Troytown Handicap Chase, the feature of the Navan Racing Festival (November 15 & 16). Leading the local charge is Gavin Cromwell, whose improving Will The Wise tops the 29 entries for the historic €100,000 contest following a dominant win at Galway. Cromwell is also represented by Aspurofthemoment, Union Station, and Yeah Man, third in this race last year.
Noel Meade looks to have a lively contender in Sportinthepark, a dual Galway winner, while Gordon Elliott — already a seven-time Troytown winner — fields a formidable team of ten, headlined by Pied Piper and Better Days Ahead. Willie Mullins adds further depth with Quai De Bourbon and High Class Hero, while local hopes A Wave Of The Sea (Shane Broderick) and Ballybawn Belter (Liz Doyle) also feature prominently.
Saturday’s action is equally strong, with Marine Nationale, Captain Guinness, and Dinoblue entered for the Grade 2 Bar One Racing Fortria Chase, and Casheldale Lad leading the way in the Lismullen Hurdle.
Bar One Racing CEO Barney O’Hare hailed the festival as “a winter highlight for National Hunt fans,” while Navan Racecourse Manager Ciaran Flynn promised “a great sporting and social weekend with top-class racing and live local music.”
