Successful earlier with Tudor Manor Pat Flynn and Robyn Donaghue-Leahy doubled up when Not Just Any Eagle (7/1) notched his third win of the year in the William Hill Top Price Guarantee Rated Race.
Successful when last seen at Tipperary in August, Catherine Flynn's four-year-old was a little keen behind a steady pace and the winning rider decided to move him up to dispute the lead half a mile from home.
Ridden to lead over a furlong out, he stayed on well to score by half a length from San Andreas
Donaghue-Leahy, for whom it was a first double, said: "He was more keen to get prominent than I was (at the 4f pole)!
"They went steady enough, I think, and he does stay a lot further. He likes to bowl along, same in Tipperary where they went a savage gallop and he picks it up and he goes for home.
"He probably idles a little bit in front, but found plenty.
"After a lay-off like that, we were wondering might he be short a piece of work - clearly, he is not!
"He did it very well and he'll surely improve from it."
