Bachasson made it four from four over hurdles when quickening up smartly to land the Dolores Purcell Memorial Novice Hurdle at Tipperary.
Ruby Walsh settled behind the leaders on the 2/5 shot and he had to get to work as Three Stars kicked for home two out and stole a couple of lengths.
The Willie Mullins-trained hotpot claimed that rival over the last, however, and powered clear in the closing stages for a comprehensive four-and-a-half length success.
The French-import has won all his four starts since arriving in Ireland adding today's Grade Three prize to a maiden hurdle success at Sligo and two novice wins at Galway.
"He has plenty gears and definitely jumped slicker today. He is improved the whole time but I imagine he'll have to step up now," said Walsh.
"He was much more professional and flew the last today."
Patrick Mullins added:- "He has answered every question we've asked him and the dream is still alive. Ruby said he appreciated the 'give'."
