Elis Gury the even money favourite, brought up a double for Tony and Danny Mullins by winning the two mile handicap hurdle for the pair.
The five-year-old gelding hugged the rail in sixth as Killabraher Cross cut out the pace. He improved into fourth at the fifth last. Although he was soon shuffled back, he made headway into second on the turn for home.
Danny Mullins got after him on the approach to the second last which he jumped in front of Skehana Bridge He was driven out after the last to win by three lengths from Fairy Court who finished nicely for second at 25/1. Idontdalaay came home half a length further back in third at 14/1.
Tony Mullins said: "That is three out of three for our runners going left-handed. We had one the last day and now two today. This horse can't handle soft ground and he will race away on this ground for the summer but we are a little worried about his wind and that is probably why he couldn't handle soft ground.
"We are going to keep running him because if we operate now he will miss the rest of the summer. He has a wind issue and it would make us a little worried about Galway with the uphill finish but we will see what will happen.
"We will address his wind when the ground goes and hopefully we will have a smart horse for next summer. He loves that ground anyway. I don't know where he will go, maybe Galway, I don't think we will pull him out again for Killarney so soon.
"The syndicate (CLF Partnership) are made up of men who are well established in the game - Pat O'Connell, Billy Lahart and John Flynn. They would all have had winners in their own right and I got the three of them together."
