Boyne battles to another win Sunriseontheboyne got on top inside the final furlong to bag a third win of the campaign at Dundalk in the three-year-old handicap tonight. The Mick Mulvany-trained gelding had won twice over a mile here during the winter and ground out victory back down at seven this evening. Wesley Joyce drove his mount into contention going to the furlong pole and the 10/1 shot was in front in the closing stages to record a length-and-a-quarter win over long-time leader Scarlet Widow. Sunriseontheboyne was recording his fourth career victory, having also scored at Killarney last August. Mulvany said: "I know we were coming back in trip, but we rode him more positively tonight. "He's a good horse and good horses can run over different distances. I reckon he should stay further, a mile and two horse. "We are happy with the way that he is improving all the time. "He has won on a little bit of give in the ground in Killarney last year. We will be hoping that he will be out somewhere (on the turf). "We rolled the dice here tonight - we didn't intend coming here,  but I was looking at the entries the other day and I didn't think there was going to be many (runners). It has paid off."
