Outside The Door (17/2) registered a fifth career success today as the Padraig Roche-trained gelding was a battling winner of Wexford's Treo Eile Handicap Chase, under jockey Aidan Kelly. Favori Logique had taken the lead from the winner in the home straight but Outside The Door rallied gamely to stick his neck out in the final stride.

Delighted Roche reported "he jumps and gallops and is as honest as the day is long. A great bunch of lads (the Hold Firm Syndicate) own him and that's his fifth win now.

“He is a real genuine horse who keeps going and he jumps great. Aidan gave him a great ride and we're delighted. He can mix it between hurdles and fences and it all depends on what the handicapper does. We will keep him going and he is a bit better on better ground."
