Paul Townend rounded off a great week when bagging his fourth winner on Navan's card aboard Ibetellingyoualie (7/1) in the two and a half mile handicap chase.
Townend hunted the nine-year-old gelding round in fifth for the most part. He inched closer on the inner coming to the fifth last, but it was really after the third last that he made the most headway.
He duly hit the front at the last and was ridden out to hold Boher Call (14/1) by a length. Russian Regent was 13 lengths further away in third at 9/1.
Trainer Terence O'Brien said: "He's a bit of a tricky customer and keeps a bit to himself. He couldn't have had a better man aboard today.
"I think he can improve a bit again and he'll tip away in handicaps. There is a novice handicap in Fairyhouse and that is the plan."
Townend's other winners at the Co Meath track today were Grand Partner (7/1), Vedettariat (11/2) and Heathfield (2/1). This followed three winners at the Cheltenham Festival.
