< Ambassadorial confirmed the promise of his debut success by landing the Listed Irish Stallion Farms EBF Star Appeal Stakes on his return to Dundalk, and was the highlight of a treble for Michael Halford.< Leo Minor took up the running early in the straight but only served as a target for British raider Executive Force who had Ambassadorial for company on his outside.

Shane Foley didn't have to get too serious on the 4-1 chance, who displayed a taking change of gear to triumph by a length and a half.

Halford doubled up when Kadra led home a one-two-three for the trainer in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap.

Having tracked the leaders, Pat Smullen brought the 5-1 shot with her challenge down the centre of the track and she proved a willing partner, staying on well to see off Indrahar by a length and three-quarters, with the front-running Suvenna hanging on for third.

The three-timer was completed courtesy of 2-1 favourite Reddot Express in division two of the Dundalk Stadium - Light Up Your Night Apprentice Handicap.< Tilly Trotter was Dermot Weld's only runner on the card and she got the job done in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Race.

Settled towards the rear early on, the 5-1 shot was produced inside the final furlong by Smullen and she accounted for Miss Cogent by three-quarters of a length.

Smullen looked like going in again when Windsorlot hit the front in the Crowne Plaza Leading Jockey & Trainer Championship Claiming Maiden, but he was collared by Veil Of Stars (11-2), who went on to score by a length.< Taj Mahal is hardly a punters' pal but finally got off the mark in the Irishinjuredjockeys.com Nursery Handicap.

Sent off 9-4 favourite, the sixth time in as many starts he has headed the market, the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt made hard work of landing the spoils but ultimately beat Twist Of Magic by a length.

The first division of the Dundalk Stadium - Light Up Your Night Apprentice Handicap went to Black Agnes (25-1), while Rahyah won the Christmas Party Nights At Dundalk Stadium Handica
