UNDER STARTER’S ORDERS

Troytown for Principle

LAST season’s Irish Grand National hero General Principle (above) could return to action next weekend reports Gordon Elliott.

The Gigginstown House Stud-owned gelding is on course to contest the Troytown Chase which his trainer will be bidding to win for the fifth year in a row.

Meanwhile, Elliott is considering the Grade 2 Monksfield Novice Hurdle at Navan next Sunday for his prolific novice hurdler Dinons.
