< Taglietelle made a triumphant return to the level in the Irishinjuredjockeys.com Handicap under the lights at Dundalk.

Gordon Elliott's smart jumper, previously seen finishing third in the Lismullen Hurdle, was sent off the 5-4 favourite but had his work cut out when entering the final furlong with both Eye Of The Tiger and He'llberemembered ahead of him.

But he put his best foot forward and hit the front halfway down the straight before fending off Rock On Rosie by a head.< Hatch Hall made it two from two on the Polytrack when landing the Crowne Plaza Leading Jockey & Trainer Championship Handicap (Div 1) as the 11-4 favourite, and jockey Colin Keane followed up in the second instalment on 3-1 market leader Invincible Don
