Pat Flynn's gelding didn't enjoy a lot of luck when third behind Ned's Indian here last month but turned the tables.

Mick Halford's colt was sent off the 8-11 favourite on the back of an encouraging debut effort but looked a sitting duck when Solomon Northup loomed up and then newcomer Navegante challenged.
But he responded to all of Shane Foley's urgings and flashed across the line a head to the good.< Vitally Important was a most impressive winner of the Dundalk Stadium & ndash; Light Up Your Night Maiden.
The Andy Oliver-trained son of Pivotal was tasting competitive action for the first time but looks likely to make up for lost time, judging by his four-and-a-half-length demolition of Emiest Rose
