Newcomers dominated the concluding Coral.ie 'Cash Out My Bet' (Pro/Am) Flat Race, filling the first four places, with the friendless Takeittothelimits coming out on top under Cian Collins for Gordon Elliott.
An 8/1 chance in early shows, the daughter of Stowaway opened at 10/1 on-course before drifting out to 16's at the off.
Settled in mid-division, she was fifth with a circuit to race as Innocent Verdict and Jet Ranger raced clear of the field.
The front two were reeled in down the back straight, and with three furlongs to race Aeglos lead with the winner poised behind him in second.
Takeittothelimits soon improved to dispute, and she was ridden to lead over a furlong out, keeping on well from there to score by four lengths.
Aeglos, who was sent off the well-supported 1/2 favourite (from 15/8 last night), finished second under Sarah O'Brien for her brother Joseph, while Scotch Beg (25/1) was twelve lengths back in third under Conor Brassil for Andy Oliver.
Cian Collins said afterwards: "She had been working well at home and Gordon liked her a lot. She should improve from that and will have a big future."
