Paul Flynn was on the mark after his charge Pallasmore came home in front of the Potrait Gallary at Kilfeacle Stud Handicap Chase.
Mick Darcy who was in the saddle took up the lead five from home and the pair forged clear after the last for a four length win over Rathnaskillogue
A delighted Flynn said afterwards: "He was unlucky last year when he fell at Ffos. I think he has improved a bit this year."
"If he keeps improving we'll try and aim him for the Summer National at Kilbeggan."
