Grey Danube gave his trainer Darren Bunyan a never to be forgotten success – his first winner - at this venue 19 days ago and over the same distance the son of Verglas followed up in the Hen & Stag Packages at Dundalk Stadium Handicap.

Leigh Roche got the always prominent grey to the front from early in the straight and though he looked vulnerable well inside the final furlong, the 6/1 chance (from 8s) held on to beat the flying home Khaos (14s into 7s) by a neck. There was just half a length back to the third-placed Slim Chance

Bunyan explained: "He came out of his last race here very fresh and well.

"We'll give him a few weeks off now and he might be one for the Scurries – we'll see what the handicapper does – I've had that race in the back of my mind for him.

"I have six horses in at the minute and I've got plenty of spare boxes – we're just trying to build the place up." (MG & EM)
