"He's in at Cork tomorrow but probably won't run if the rain comes," said Ado McGuinness after his Specific Gravity took the honours in division two of the Crowne Plaza Leading Jockey & Trainer Championship Handicap that rounded off proceedings at Dundalk.
Ronan Whelan donned the familiar yellow and green silks of Sean Gallagher on the well-backed 5/1 shot (from 10s) as he convincingly defied top-weight by two lengths from Milford Lass
"That's his third win this year. I sold him to Sean a while back and I'm delighted for him as he loves those type of horses and gets great fun from them," added McGuinness.
"Ronan gave him a great ride. He sat patiently on him. He can be a bit tricky and he was top-class.
"He'll tip away here over the winter."
