Celtic Revival and James Ryan just keep winning over 1m4f at Dundalk and their victory in the second division of the Gateway Hotel Dundalk Race & Stay Handicap was their fifth of the year at the Co Louth venue.

Up 5lb for his latest success in September, the 4/1 chance made gradual headway between horses in the straight and led inside the final 150 yards to beat Sky Legend by a length and a half, his biggest margin of victory thus far. 

Trainer Eddie Lynam trains the four-year-old for his wife Aileen and said: "I remember when Aileen put the mare, who a good mare, in foal to Sea The Stars and then we got this that looked like a policeman's horse! He was slow as well!

"He has been great and a great servant, and she is knocking a great bit of fun out of him. He turns up and runs his races. He did it well.

"James is particularly good - he is good on him, but I think he is very good. It is just a shame he is my height. I'm going for my dinner on the way home now and I don't know what he gets!"
