Donagh O'Connor brought Your Pal Tal with a perfectly-timed challenge to complete a hat-trick in the Dundalk Stadium On Facebook Handicap.

Johnny Levins' sprinter has been in fine fettle at the all-weather venue but was 15lb higher than when his winning spree began and looked to be treading water as Majestic Timeline and Strategic Heights duelled up front.

O'Connor didn't panic, though, and the leaders came back to him before the 2-1 favourite made his final challenge, and he actually beat Majestic Timeline with more in hand than the official margin of a head would suggest.

A 413-day absence proved no hindrance to Have A Great Day who ran right away from his rivals in the www.dundalkstadium.com Maiden.

Andy Oliver's 15-8 market leader went for home early in the straight and powered six lengths clear of Cutting Corners

His jockey Chris Hayes followed up when Shalaman (9-2) returned from a brief let-up to claim the spoils in the Crowne Plaza Leading Jockey & Trainer Championship Handicap.

Donnacha O'Brien had to settle for second in the Floodlit Friday Nights Handicap when the odds-on Bishan Bedi was pipped by Tennessee Wildcat (5-2), but he was on the scoresheet as Elusive In Paris (5-1 joint-favourite) claimed the Crowne Plaza Hotel Race & Stay Apprentice Handicap, and his sister Ana also got in the on the act when getting 11-10 favourite Song Of Love home in the Elusive Pimpernel Maiden.

It was a close call, though, because while the Aidan O'Brien-trained gelding appeared set to score comfortably inside the final furlong, Hat Alnasar wouldn't go away and was only a head adrift at the line.< Saga Diamond was second on the same card as Song Of Love here a fortnight ago but had to settle for third this time, in the Dundalk Stadium & ndash; Light Up Your Night Fillies Maiden won by 66-1 outsider Singapore Secret
