The 3/1 favourite Matilda With Me finished with a flourish to land the second division of the 47-65 handicap.
Off-course gamble Carirose (33s into 6/1 this morning, S.P. 12/1) looked set to hold on in the final furlong but Colin Keane had other ideas as the market leader got up close home to score by a head. Barrys Rock also came home well and was only half a length further back in third with Mosaaheb completing the frame.
It was a third success for the consistent daughter of Morpheus.
Winning trainer Roger Sweeney said: "It was nice to get her to win again, she was near a couple of times so it is nice to get it. I thought for a bit we were in trouble but he is a a good jockey and just got her up.
"She is ideally suited to 1m4f and if it gets soft she will go back jumping."
