< Dahindar is rapidly becoming a standing dish at Dundalk and the six-year-old recorded his fourth victory on the all-weather track in the feature www.dundalkstadium.com Handicap.

Padraig Beggy was in danger of being crowded out as the field bunched coming down the straight, but the jockey was having none of it and extricated himself in time to get a run.

Eddie Lynam's 11-2 shot responded well to a couple of slaps and led a furlong out before holding off Moonreach by three-quarters of a length in a tight finish.

Tommy Stack has hit the ground running and he notched a double including the Wayne Lordan-ridden Sikara (6-5 favourite) in the ISF EBF Median Auction Fillies Maiden.

Runner-up at Roscommon on her only start as a juvenile, the filly got into a three-way battle with Adiynara and She's A Queen in the closing stages and just got on top to win by three-quarters of a length.

The double was initiated by Shane Gray on the improving Celerina who travelled so sweetly into the straight in the Derrinstown Stud Apprentice Handicap.

Once the jockey pressed the button a furlong out the 9-4 favourite, making her all-weather bow, quickly asserted and she was untroubled in winning by a length.

Lordan scored again when Charles O'Brien's 20-1 shot Formal Bid edged in front in the shadow of the post to take the [email protected] Handicap by a neck.

Ger Lyons got off the mark for the new season when The Reaper (5-1) tucked away the Crowne Plaza Race & Stay Package Race under a nice ride from 10lb claimer Danny Benson.

The three-year-old was always handily placed and was pulled out passing the furlong pole before brushing aside long-time leader Calm Bay to score by three-quarters of a length.

Paul Flynn's Great Realief (16-1) hacked up in the Dundalk Stadium On Facebook Handicap, stretching well clear in the final quarter-mile under another 10lb claimer, Darren Egan, to score by seven lengths.
