Beamish completed a treble at Killarney for Billy Lee, as he made it two from two in the concluding Geaney & O'Neill Commercial Mowers Ltd Race.
Trained and owned by Paddy Twomey, the Teofilo four-year-old was successful on his only previous start at Leopardstown in June of last year.
That win came on quick ground and chestnut colt showed his versatility this evening by following-up on soft.
Well-supported on-course from 15/2 to 4/1, he raced just behind the leaders on the outer and came with his challenge from the three furlong pole.
Sent to the front with just over a furlong to race, he quickly had matters under control, going on to score decisively by two lengths. Ebendi (11/1) ran a fine race to finish second under Declan McDonogh for Joseph O'Brien, while My Mate Mozzie (6/4f) could only manage a disappointing third, a further three-and-a-half lengths behind.
"When he won last year he just got a setback and it held him up for the year. He has been training lovely at home, is a lovely straightforward horse and he is definitely one for the future," said Lee who was earlier successful on Cigamia and All Lies Ahead
"He handled nice horses pretty easily and quickened well.
"I was worried about the ground because he had won on quick ground and kept him out wide as much as I could. I kept him on the freshest ground but he handled it and got through it well."
