Review dundalk 3rd Feb

< Kedleston was raised a stone for a gambled-on victory at Dundalk three weeks ago but it wasn't enough to stop him doubling up on his return to the track.

Tommy Stack's three-year-old sat on the shoulder of the pacesetting Tawariyka for most of the way in the Leucillin Horseware Ireland Handicap and challenged on entering the straight.

Wayne Lordan soon had the 2-1 favourite in front and though it wasn't as easy as last time, Kedleston forged clear to beat the fast-finishing Roman General by two lengths.

Fergal Lynch teamed up with the David Marnane-trained Cool Athlete to win at the track a fortnight ago and the duo repeated the trick in the Winter Racing At Dundalk Handicap.

The jockey had to be patient as he was trapped behind horses entering the closing stages, but the gaps came and Cool Athlete (10-1) shot past Elwazeer close home to score by half a length.< Copper Dock is a Dundalk regular, but Tom McCourt's sprinter hadn't won at the track for over two years until Joseph O'Brien got him home in the www.dundalkstadium.com Handicap.

The eight-year-old (6-1) struck the front approaching the final furlong, but was harried all the way to the line by Rigid Rock and hung on by a short head.

Mick Halford's Danick Of Time (10-11 favourite) took them along in the Horseware.com Apprentice Maiden and was chased hard down the straight by the well-backed Casimir Road but held on by half a length in the hands of Conor Hoban.

The Garvan Donnelly-trained Rocky's Pride (14-1) had never run over a trip as short as seven furlongs in a 33-race career but led all the way under Seamie Heffernan to take the second division of the Irish Stablestaff Association Awards 3rd March Handicap.

The Sam James-ridden Aragorn Rouge (3-1) was another to follow up a recent course victory when grabbing his Eddie Lynam-trained stablemate Solid Air in the Group Bookings At Dundalk Rated Race.
