Enter The Red came out on top of a three way thrust for the line in the seven furlong handicap at Sligo.

Aidan Howard 's six-year-old gelding was nibbled at in the betting ring from 9/1 to 8/1.

Fran Berry hunted him along in mid-division before the pair made headway to 3rd in the straight. Enter The Red responded well to pressure and unleashed his challenge in the final furlong.

He came with a run to mow down 3/1 favourite Cash Or Casualty and get up by a head. Vasoni was the other horse interested in first place but she was a short head away in third at 8/1. She finished off her race well to almost collar the two in front of her.

This was Enter The Red's second career victory on his 29th start. His previous win came at Cork in October 2013.
