Caffu Zafeen took his winning run to four at Dundalk tonight when taking the Irishinjuredjockeys.com Handicap for trainer Paul Flynn.

The Exceed And Excel gelding has been transformed in recent weeks and Orla Tynan got the leg up for the first time today.

She was soon prominent on the 10/3 shot and he took over passing the furlong pole, from front-running Gotta Catch'em All.

Caffu Zafeen had a couple of lengths advantage passing the furlong marker and stayed on well in the closing stages to post a length-and-a-quarter success over Fox In Flight.

Tynan had a worrying moment on her return as the winner bolted and unseated her. Thankfully she walked back in to be assessed by the doctors.

Flynn said afterwards: "Orla is okay, she is a bit sore.

"Something has clicked with this horse.

"I was nearly going to run him in the claimer tonight.

"I think I'll go for one more with him before he gets a break."
