Caldwell Potter completed a four-timer for Gordon Elliott at Punchestown, as he ran out a comfortable winner of the concluding Irish Mirror (Pro/Am) INH Flat Race.
Earlier successful with Absolute Notions Queens Brook and Jungle Prose the master of Cullentra was widely expected to round off his afternoon on a high.
Sent off a 13/8 chance, with stable companion Cardamon Hill the 6/4 favourite, the grey victor was settled behind the leaders by Jamie Codd.
Pushed along to lead entering the straight, the E200,000 Goffs Land Rover Sale purchase went clear over a furlong out and came home seven-and-a-half lengths to the good.
The aforementioned Cardamon Hill made it a 1,2 for Elliott, plugging on to fill the runner-up berth under Harry Swan.
Out of action for just over two years, Teuchters Glory (20s to 12s) ran a fine race on his return, finishing a neck further back in third under Liam Burke.
"He's a nice horse. We fancied him for the Land Rover Bumper but he just fell apart (finished eighth). He looked a lot stronger walking around in the ring today," Elliott commented.
"I'd say we'll go jumping hurdles with him now.
"I thought the other horse (Cardamon Hill) would win on his home work.
"That's our hundredth winner in Ireland for the season so happy days."
The winner is owned by Caldwell Construction Ltd and is a full-brother to dual Grade 1 winning stable mate Mighty Potter, while French Dynamite is a half-brother.
