Having shown a revival in form when fourth over hurdles earlier in the week, Donacheady Gale (8/1) returned to Listowel to land the final day feature, the Charlie Chute Memorial Handicap Chase.
Fitted with blinkers for the second time, the 10-year-old came from well back in the field to move fourth turning for home and led jumping the last to score by a length-and-a-quarter from Law Ella
Sean O'Keeffe was on board for John Ryan who trains the Kalanisi gelding for John Devine.
Ryan said: "When Robbie Power won a maiden hurdle on this horse, he said 'John, I've ridden a lot of good horses and this is as nice a horse as I've ever ridden' but unfortunately I've had to bring him back following a lot of injuries.
"When he won his bumper he didn't just beat good horses, he hammered them, so I knew he was worth bringing back. He was always a top class horse.
"I hope the handicapper isn't too hard on him and if he gets into the Munster National, he'll go there."
