2025 Troytown Handicap Chase Betting Tips

There could be a big field lining up in the The Bar One Racing Troytown Handicap Chase and it’s not easy to identify a winner. You essentially want to find a horse that is going to outstay the competition and perhaps that runner is Quai De Bourbon. The six-year-old was an impressive performer at Fairyhouse when finishing third in the Irish Grand National.

Considering that was a three mile, five furlong heat, perhaps he will be the last horse standing. Previously in April, the horse was brought down when travelling well and that followed an encounter at Cheltenham where his rider was unseated. Some might therefore prefer the alternative of backing Will The Wise instead.

There was a late October success at Galway, with the even money shot able to score over two miles and two furlongs. That came after a second-placed finish at the same track, although there’s a question over whether the horse can get the trip. There was a solid effort over three miles at Cheltenham in the Pertemps Network Final Handicap Hurdle.

High Class Hero is another Willie Mullins-trained runner with solid credentials. The latest showing came at Sandown Park at the end of April. Over three miles, four and a half furlongs, the 100/30 chance was beaten into third in the bet365 Gold Cup Handicap Chase. The eight-year-old ran well at Thurles in a previous encounter.

Hollow Games finished third out of twenty-two runners at Galway Racecourse back in August, with the Gordon Elliott-trained charge hitting the frame in the Galway Plate, with the horse demonstrating plenty of stamina over two miles, six and a half furlongs. There was previously a fourth-placed finish in a handicap chase at Punchestown.

Largy Debut runs for trainer Henry de Bromhead and the horse was last seen finishing second out of twelve runners at Limerick in the Ladbrokes Munster National Handicap Chase. That came after a previous runner-up performance in a Beginners Chase at Gowran Park over two miles and four furlongs on heavy ground.

Thedevilscoachman returns after a long lay-off and the JP McManus-owned runner was able to score at Limerick back in March when winning a Novice Chase. The horse pulled up in the Irish Grand National Chase, with the Noel Meade-trained runner trading at a similar price to Gevrey who was able to land a victory last time out at Limerick.

The seven-year-old appears to be favourably handicapped and was able to win at odds of 6/1 over three miles on soft ground. Back in April, there was also a second placed finish in the Irish Grand National at odds of 28/1 and this looks like the sort of runner who could go well at Navan, with the horse a likely finisher.
