Available at 5/1 this morning and backed from 3/1 into 2/1 before the off, The Real Screamer made it three wins from three runs at Dundalk when running out a comfortable winner of the concluding Put The Fun In Fundraising Handicap.

Trained by Paul Flynn for the Maydon Partnership, the Awtaad gelding made smooth headway in the straight to lead over a furlong out and only had to be pushed out to score by three lengths from Trishuli River

It was the five-year-old's third win over this ten-and-a-half furlong trip on the Polytrack and he made light of a six-month absence since running over hurdles at the Galway festival.

It was a third Dundalk winner this month for trainer Flynn, who led up his charge.

Ryan, completing a double after winning on Inishmot Price earlier in the afternoon, explained "Exactly (kept up his unbeaten record in Dundalk), he seems to love it here.

"I was lucky enough to sit on him a couple of weeks ago and he seemed in great nick. Paul was happy with him.

"I went through the race real nicely, just had to give him a bit of a squeeze when we were turning into the straight just to keep up with them. As soon as I straightened up, I picked up nicely."
