Piet Mondrian completed a carbon-copy double for Ballydoyle when scoring at odds-on in the three-year-old maiden at Killarney.
Half an hour earlier Kingfisher had made all for a cosy victory in an extended mile contest and once again Joseph O'Brien popped out in front on the hotpot.
He again had his rivals struggling in the straight and asked the Danehill Dancer colt for an effort passing the two pole.
The half-brother to Aussie Rules galloped on strongly in the closing stages to record a cosy three length success over newcomer Vasanta Navaratri
The 8/11 favourite hadn't run since being beaten favourite in very testing conditions at the Curragh back in March. He had been a promising third at Leopardstown on his sole outing last year.
“He did it nicely in the end and he got to dictate,” said Aidan O'Brien.
“Hopefully he'll be okay in the morning as that was the problem with him. He pulled muscles off his hip.
“We'll go gently with him. He's a big horse and and will make a lovely four-year-old.”
