Moiqen saw off the best that Ballydoyle could throw at him to win the Group Three P.W.McGrath Memorial Ballysax Stakes for the Kevin Prendergast yard.
The Hamdan Al Maktoum-owned colt (9-2) had the benefit of a seasonal debut run when second to the impressive Famous Name at the track earlier this month.
He was always well placed under Declan McDonogh and took over a furlong out from the Aidan O'Brien-trained pair King Of Rome and Alessandro Volta, seeing out the 10 furlongs well to hold another Ballydoyle challenger, Hebridean, by a length.
Tian Shan (100-30) made it two victories from as many starts on these shores when holding off all challengers in the Listed Heritage Stakes.
Dermot Weld's French import had won impressively at Tipperary two weeks ago and was sent straight to the front by Pat Smullen in this one-mile contest.
A change of gear proved decisive two furlongs out and he readily kept Alarazi at bay to record a three-quarters-of-a-length verdict.
Luxie has been a revelation on turf this season and bagged a quickfire hat-trick when holding on as 9-2 favourite in the Maple Handicap, initating a treble for Weld and Smullen.
The trainer-jockey team made it three when Winchester (3-1) took the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden over 10 furlongs.
Aidan O'Brien's Bashkirov built up a healthy lead until tackled by stable companion William Hogarth in the straight, but Winchester arrived on the scene with a telling challenge and quickly went away to score by a length and three-quarters.
Favourite Moonstone, another from the Ballydoyle yard, ran on to finish second.
Experience told in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden for juveniles as Vilasol took the spoils by half a length under Declan McDonogh.
Kevin Prendergast's 3-1 chance was a beaten favourite at the Curragh on his debut but was always prominent in his bid to atone and had too many guns for the staying-on Ryehill Dreamer.
