The Tony Martin trained Sir Callisto made all under Robbie Colgan to win the concluding View Restaurant Summer Offer Handicap at Dundalk.

Sent off 4/1 in the colours of Seamus Ross, the six-year-old gelding led pillar to post under a well judged front running ride.

Strongly pressed from over two-furlongs out, the son of Siyouni stuck to his task well to beat Echinacea by one-and-a-quarter lengths.

Tony Martin said: "He put it all together and it is great.

"He's a horse that things went wrong for a few years back.

"It was a lovely run the last night and he has just stepped up.

"More of the same for this fella on the turf.

"When you are working with men like Robbie Colgan and Colin Keane, it is great. Robbie is not in one of those high-profile jobs but he's an absolute top-class rider. It is great to be able to have the like of him on board.

"It is great for Seamus Ross (owner), a long time in the game and he deserves a bit of luck."
