Thatbeatsbanagher (4/1) sealed a Killarney double for JP McManus, Enda Bolger and Darragh O'Keeffe with an authoritative display in the extended two and a half mile handicap chase.
He was driven to the front rounding the bend coming to three out, and increased the advantage after that fence when Archer's Up made a mistake.
He moved six lengths ahead jumping the penultimate fence, and O'Keeffe must have enjoyed the view when he took a peek behind him.
The jockey kept him up to his work to see off another McManus-owned horse TImiyan (8/1) by four lengths. The runner-up stayed on well.
Court Tycoon was 14 lengths off the runner-up in third at 13/2. Shanroe Al C went off the 9/4 favourite but was struggling after four out.
McManus, Bolger and O'Keeffe also combined for a clear-cut victory with Everlastingpromise in the Grade B chase on the card.
