Beliar held off the late challenge of Fleeting Moment to land the 47-65 mile-and-a-half handicap at Tramore.

Danny Grant was registering a double when producing his mount with a well-timed run to hit the lead inside the final furlong.

Eoin Doyle 's charge only had a head to spare at the line, however, as Fleeting Moment flashed home to push him close.

"I thought the line would never come. He's getting on in years and this was probably his day," said Doyle.

"He could go back for a hurdle now. The owner (Paul Holden) is from Mullinavat in Kilkenny so he's very local."
