Rely on in-form Ridge

THE conditions of the contest aren’t exactly in his favour, but in-form Elusive Ridge still gets the nap to take the Crowne Plaza Hotel Race at Dundalk tonight.

He is on a hat-trick mission now, emphasising his current well-being on the track a week ago.

Always on the pace for Pat Smullen, Elusive Ridge kept on strongly through the final furlong to hold Toufan Express by three parts of a length.
