A pair of 20/1 shots dominated the finish to the Register For August Style Evening Online Festival Handicap Hurdle at Tramore with Doyen Bay fending off Nancy D'alton by half a length.
The winner, partnered by Phillip Enright, certainly attracted support from 33/1 down to 20/1 on the off.
He wasn't fluent at the last and was soon joined by Nancy D'alton but knuckled down to the challenge to see off that filly in the closing stages. Lucia's Bob finished third at 12/1. A punt on First One D'ana (8/1 - 11/2) went astray as he finished a short head out of the places.
Handler Eoghan O'Grady said: "He won a point-to-point not so long ago in Liscarroll. This is his grade and he'll go for something similar again.
"He battled away from the last after jumping it a bit slow. At some stage he'll go over fences."
