Chris Hayes and Andy Oliver teamed up to take the concluding Frank Lynch & Co. Welcome Inpact Handicap with Alcock And Brown at Dundalk.
The four-year-old gelding overcame a seven-month absence in this extended ten furlongs event leading about a furlong out.
The son of Oasis Dream attracted some support earlier in the day at 14/1, and was nibbled on track from 10/1 into 9/1.
He kept on well inside the final furlong to beat Trans City by a length and three quarters, with Shake The Bucket another three quarters of a length adrift in third.
Oliver said, “He was a bit fresh but ran well fresh. He’s been acting as a lead horse for some of our younger ones, and he looked so well that we decided to enter him.
“He enjoys that surface, and that’s about his trip. We’ll see what the handicapper does.”
