There was another big priced winner in the second at Dundalk as Dylan Express sprang a 33/1 shock for Damien English.

Rory Cleary blazed a trail in front on the Dylan Thomas gelding and he had enough left at the end of the five-furlong contest.

2/1 favourite Acroleina finished well but could only get within half a length of the winner at the line.

"He completely boiled over in Cork last time and he was in a lather of sweat in the ring. I don't know why," said English.

"We put the hood back on today and that seemed to make the difference.

"Rory was brilliant on him. He stole the race and that's him at his best.

"I could put him away until Laytown now. He works very very well on the beach. That's why we persevered with him as we were going to pull the plug a few times.

"He could have one run at Bellewstown before going to the beach."
