Gringo D'aubrelle eased clear of his rivals in Navan's Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust (Pro/Am) Flat Race to seal a treble for Gordon Elliott.
The 4/6 favourite was sent into an early lead by Jamie Codd and lobbed away at the head of affairs half a mile out.
He merely had to be nudged along to draw clear inside the final quarter of a mile.
The five-year-old gelding hosed up by 10 lengths from Sixhandsinmypocket (40/1). Watch The Weather was beaten another seven and a half lengths into third at 33/1.
Elliott said: “He's a nice horse. I fancied him in a bumper at Thurles and he came home lame and then he blew up the last day when he was beaten by a good horse of Charles Byrnes'.”
Elliott's other winners on the card were Ginto (30/100f) and Buddy Rich (5/1).
