Numerian turned around form with stable-mate Colfer Me to run out a decisive winner of the STAGIT.ie / HENIT.ie Race at Dundalk tonight.

Colfer Me went to post the 4/5 favourite for the four runner event over seven furlongs and took them along in the early stages.

He was claimed over a furlong from home, however, by Sky Seven as Numerian tracked the leading pair.

Seamie Heffernan produced the 7/1 shot to lead inside the final 100 yards and record a cosy length success over Sky Seven. The hotpot was two-and-a-half lengths back in third.

Numerian had chased home Colfer Me in handicap company, over a mile, here a fortnight ago and was just a pound better off for that two-and-three-quarter length beating.

Heffernan said afterwards:- “It was probably my fault that he wasn’t closer the last night. I asked him to jump and he raced too keen.

“I didn’t rev him up (tonight) and he got the last furlong really well. He’s a fine big horse.

“There is a Listed race here in a couple of weeks which Joseph might look at.”
