Notforalongtime (11/1) registered a fifth win for his trainer Laura Hourigan and an eighth career success today, in Dundalk’s William Hill Top Price Guarantee Handicap when scoring under jockey Robbie Colgan.

Dundalk course-specialist Notforalongtime had previously been successful last March and today the eight-year-old bounced back to form wearing first-time blinkers, when scoring by a half-length from Mullacash Buzz

Afterwards jockey Colgan reported "I rode him the last day, he wasn't beaten too far but I thought he might have saved a little bit for himself.

"I thought the blinkers might sharpen him up a bit and he only had a couple of lengths to make up. They just helped him travel and concentrate.

"Laura does great with him and has him in great form. He’d always be bucking going out to the start and she keeps him happy and healthy."
