Juyush has really thrived since joining Sarah Lynam this autumn and completed a hat-trick when defying top-weight in the Crowne Plaza Hotel Dundalk Apprentice Rated Race.

The Frankel gelding went up a total of 16lb for two previous wins on the Polytrack but that proved no barrier as he again showed a liking for the Dundalk mile.

The well-backed 5/2 favourite led over a furlong out under Shane Crosse and was driven out to score by three quarters of a length. Tony The Gent showed something of a return to form taking the runner-up berth, with Time And Money a length and three quarters further adrift in third.

Lynam said, "That was super. He's really enjoying it and building in confidence with each run. I was a bit nervous because I didn't want to think that I was running him back too quickly and being greedy. He seemed in good form.

“We're delighted and he'll have a little break now over Christmas. There is a bit of a gap between now and the new winter program so it's ideal.”
