Jawhary completed a double for trainer Ado McGuinness when just coming out on top in a thrilling finish to the View Restaurant At Dundalk Stadium Handicap.

The son of Cable Bay ended a long losing run when successful here just before Christmas and followed up here as 100/30 favourite off just a 4lb higher mark.

There were plenty still in contention just over a furlong out and Declan McDonogh’s mount just proved the strongest at the business end holding off Mischief Man by a head. Without Love was a further three-quarters of a length back in third.

McGuinness’ son and assistant Tadhg said, “He was bound to find form again and seems to love it around here.

"There was plenty of head-scratching with him, look thankfully he has found a bit of form.

"Hopefully, he stays going on the up. He went up 4lb for winning the last day and I'm sure he will go up another few. He'll find his level.

"Declan said he was strong at the line and wouldn't even mind trying him over further. He's a fun, little horse and hopefully we will have a bit more fun with him."

McGuinness was also on the mark this evening with Clonmacash (100/30).
