The Curragh to Listowel it seemingly all comes alike to Rattling Jewel (5/1 favourite) as he showed when stylishly capturing the Guinness Handicap at the penultimate stage of the harvest festival.
Three times a winner at headquarters, here the Joseph O'Brien-trained and Donnacha O'Brien-ridden six-year-old had six and a half lengths to spare over Ecoeye after taking over from before the two pole.
Owner John O'Mahony sourced the Royal Applause gelding from the Baldings cross-channel initially, and he triumphed three times under his purple and white silks when with Nicole McKenna.
"He deserved that and tries hard and I'm having a good week, so it's nice to get another one on the board," said Donnacha O'Brien.
"He is a grand old horse and is a dream to ride, loves that ground and six or seven furlongs is his trip."
The Stewards fined Miss Susan A Finn, trainer, €65 for fitting undeclared headgear to Youceeyouceecee prior to entering the parade ring.
