Two of Elliott's lightweights worth including in Troytown

It is a game of numbers for Pick Six punters on Sunday's Navan card, with an aggregate of 114 runners in the six relevant races and a maximum 25, plus reserves, in the LadbrokesTroytown Chase (2.20). And it is a fair bet the most-referenced number of the day will be the 11 fielded by Gordon Elliott in his bid to win the big handicap for the third year in a row.

It is an impressive assault, strong on quality as well, with the stable providing five of the top six in the handicap. However, it may pay to look towards the other end of the scale where Woodford Island and Mountain King are put forward as relatively unexposed types for Elliott. Bonny Kate is worth including as the pick of a Noel Meade-trained pair, and Abolitionist is suggested as a live outsider.

Elliott, Meade and Willie Mullins lock horns throughout the day. Mullins should have the upper hand with Cheltenham and Aintree bumper runner-up Batttleford in the opening maiden hurdle (12.10) and with Supreme Novices' Hurdle runner-up Min in the beginners' chase (1.45).
