Fifth win of the year at Dundalk for Lynam's Revival

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!"
