< Rummaging recorded his sixth victory at Dundalk as he came out best in a terrific finish to the feature Your Local Value Centre Race under the all-weather track's lights.
Only three went to post for the six-furlong sprint, but they produced a real spectacle as they fought it out through the final furlong, with Mick Halford's 4-7 favourite prevailing by a neck.< An Saighdiur led from the off and battled on bravely for second after Rummaging edged past under Conor Hoban, with Master Speaker a further short head away in third place.

Paul Deegan's three-year-old took a little while to overtake the front-running I'vegotafeeling but once Chris Hayes got him into his stride he cleared away nicely to score by three and three-quarter lengths.
Sean Corby rode his first winner when the Jimmy Lambe-trained Boughtforasong (7-1) broke her duck at the 22nd attempt in the XL Handicap, beating favourite Catwilldo by half a length after some final-furlong scrimmaging.
The Cassidys XL Carrickmacross Handicap went to Pat Shanahan's improving filly Dancing Cosmos (8-1), who has found her niche on the all-weather and led a furlong out under Wayne Lordan before beating favourite Equation Of Time by a length.
Ado McGuinness's Gold Falcon (12-1) got a nice split a furlong out in the Market Bar Drogheda Handicap and burst through under Shane Kelly for a half-length victory.
