< Togoville made all in the Dundalk Stadium - Light Up Your Night Handicap to take his tally of wins at the County Lough track to seven on Friday evening.
The course specialist had to settle for third behind Jamesie over the same course and distance here five weeks ago but the roles were reversed this time, with Pat Smullen's mount quickly in command in the six-furlong feature.
David Marnane's charge briefly threatened off the home turn but the 5-4 favourite responded well and pulled clear for a two-length success.
Marnane gained some compensation when Settle For Red held the late lunge of Political Policy by a nose to score at 6-1 in the Best Of Luck Dundalk FC In The FAI Cup Final On Sunday 8th November Handicap.< Moonmeister (11-2j) relished a return to Polytrack in the Christmas Party Nights At Dundalk Stadium Handicap.< Bittern stole a march off the home turn but couldn't shake off Fran Berry's mount, who stayed on well to get up by half a length.
That completed a double for Berry after he made all on Paytheprice in the opening Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Maiden.
Andy Oliver's inmate defied a wide draw in stall 11 to race into an early lead and never looked like getting caught, justifying 5-2 favouritism from Sweetie Jar with a length a quarter to spare.
Ronan Whealan timed his late challenge on Danz Gift (9-2) to perfection to land the Crowne Plaza Hotel Race & Stay Handicap.
The well-backed Little Sweetheart blazed a trail and opened up a healthy lead in the home straight, but the Sheila Lavery-trained winner finished strongly to get up in the final 50 yards and prevail by a length and a half.< Captain Midnight (8-1) made a winning start for new trainer Joe Murray as he edged out National Service by three-quarters of a length in the Best Of Luck Dundalk FC In The FAI Cup Final On Sunday 8th November Handicap.
