Glyndwr (10/3) made it third time lucky to open his account in the Irish EBF Median Sires Series Maiden at Dundalk.

The Ger Lyons-trained colt had met trouble in running on his last outing at Leopardstown having been a promising fifth first time up at Naas.

Colin Keane had him in the box seat today and the son of Arizona wore down front-runner Six Thirty inside the final furlong.

He ran around a bit in the closing stages but had enough in hand to hold newcomer Carrignarede by a neck.

Assistant Shane Lyons said afterwards:- “We're delighted with that, he's a work in progress and still very green. We knew he'd like this surface.

“We're delighted that he won over seven because we know that he wants a mile. Colin said that he'd be a lovely horse for next year over a mile or even a mile-and-a-quarter.

“We're absolutely thrilled to get a winner for Philip Richards, who is a new owner to us. He's based in the Isle Of Man and has been very patient.

“He had a couple of horses with us last year and we said we'd get him a nice horse this year and here we are. Hopefully he has a good season next year as well.”
