National Hunt jockey Robbie Colgan has been mixing it to good effect and enjoyed his second winner on the Flat at the Galway Festival on board Share The Honour
The 16/1 chance was still in mid-division coming to the home bend in this extended mile and three handicap but began to motor into third racing past the furlong pole.
Tony Martin's charge finished powerfully between horses to nail Camlann and win by half a length.
Camlann, who won at the festival on Thursday, had to settle for second to the angst of backers who played the 5/2 favourite.
Each-way punters got a dividend from third-placed Erin (9/2) and Lady Camelot (10/1) who was a nose further back in fourth.
Robbie Colgan said: "I was very slow (away from the gates), I wanted to be handier. Lucky they went hard enough and it played to my strengths in the end.
"I was happy enough they were going fast and I was just in my comfort zone to follow away and coming down into the dip I was close enough if good enough. When I hit the rising ground I knew he would gallop out to the line.
"I'm delighted to get the ride for Tony Martin and he thought he'd have a chance if he handled the ground and he did it well in the end."
