Mantles Prince provided Pat Hughes with yet another big National Hunt handicap win when taking the 14th Ladbroke in tremendous style under Fran Berry.
The 6yo (12lb out of the handicap) travelled smoothly to head Geos before the last, and drew clear to score by 6L with She's Our Mare holding every chance 3L further back in third.
'He developed a skin allergy immediately after winning at Fairyhouse last Monday but recovered quickly,' said Hughes, who has also won the Galway Hurdle and Kerry National this season.
He added: 'He may be aimed now at the Imperial Cup (Sandown), and the County Hurdle at Cheltenham.'
Buck Rogers (Ken Whelan) has the Aintree Grand National as his main target this season after rallying from the last to beat Fiddlers Tune by 2 1/2L in the Leopardstown Chase.
'He will come back here next month for the Hennessy Gold Cup, and then we will aim him at Aintree,' said winning trainer Victor Bowens.
Up For The Game (3/1-9/4f) was chasing the leaders when brought down three out.
To Your Honour benefitted from a patient ride by David Casey to justify favouritism in the four-runner novice chase.
'He needs soft ground but we will not decide about Cheltenham until after another run,' said trainer Francis Flood.
Casey later completed a double aboard Choice Of Kings in the 3m handicap hurdle, leading before the last to beat Take Five by 2L.
There were just two jackpot units running onto Coq Hardi Diamond (5/2-6/4f) after the shock win of Your Cheatin Heart (50/1, paid #86.80 on the Tote) in the 2m handicap hurdle.
Sunset Lodge overcame a 13 month absence when making all under Philip Carberry to beat Masalarian by 15L in the opener.
Edward O'Grady introduced a useful newcomer in the bumper where Ned Kelly (5/4-6/4f) was prominent throughout to gain a comfortable win under Tom Magnier.
