Gordon Elliott trained a fourth winner of the day when himself and David Mullins doubled up at Cork courtesy of Bilko s win in the Paddy Power Best In Betting Value E.B.F. Maiden Hurdle.
Gigginstown House Stud also own the earlier Cullentra House winner at Mallow, Blood Crazed Tiger and they also have Naas scorer Tell Us More with the 'on-fire' outfit.
The other Elliott winner at the County Kildare venue was Cian Collins' mount, De Plotting Shed
After joint even money favourite Bilko had got the better of Redrobin by a length and a quarter, with two and a quarter lengths back to his fellow market-leader, Snag List third of the four, stable representative Olly Murphy said: "He's a work in progress - he was very green the last day and whatever chance he had of winning he threw it away at the last.
"His work at home is good but two and a half is probably as far as he wants to go - I don't think he's slow and David gave him a nice ride. We'll look for a small winners' of one race in three weeks time next.
"He's a big raw baby and will appreciate jumping fences in time.
"We can just enjoy things while they're happening and that's our tenth winner in three days - it's what you get for working for a good trainer and a good project."
