Having ridden the opening winner on the card, jockey Gavin Ryan completed a quick double when Uncanny justified favouritism in the Punctual Print Maiden at Naas.
Runner-up on both previous starts, the Donnacha O'Brien trained four-year-old made it third time lucky under the former champion apprentice.
Tracking the leaders from the outset, Ryan moved second behind Lady Pagasa early in the straight.
Moving up to take over in front over a furlong out, the 11/8f stayed on well to win by five-and-a-half lengths from the aforementioned Johnny Murtagh trained filly.
Gavin Ryan said: “She’s a filly that we’ve always liked a lot. She does like an ease in the ground so today has worked out lovely.
“It probably wasn’t an overly strong maiden, but she has plenty of class about her and we knew if we could get some company a long way down the track then she would be very hard to beat.
“She’s quickened up and put it to bed very easily.”
