Adrian Heskin was in double-winning form at Ballinrobe, including Ballychorus pillar-to-post victory in the Eamon Sheridan Plant Hire And Ground Works Chase.
Mags Mullins' 6-5 chance was always appearing to travel better than odds-on favourite Carriganog and eventually Barry Geraghty accepted defeat on the market leader, allowing Ballychorus to coast home by 19 lengths.
Heskin's double started when Tiliver justified favouritism with an accomplished display in the Tim Kelly Group 3-Y-O Maiden Hurdle.
Alan Fleming's 10-11 chance took up the running before the home turn and though his job was made easier by nearest pursuer Le Vagabond coming to grief at the last, he was already in command, winning by nine lengths from Double Windsor < Morga carried the colours of Jim Bolger's wife Jackie to victory in the John Mulhern Handicap Hurdle.
Desmond McDonogh's 9-1 chance was always in the firing line under Danny Mullins, and a slick leap at the last saw him skip a length and three-quarters clear of Rock On Rosie < Kara Loca made all to land the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Maiden Hurdle.
Mick Winters' 14-1 chance found plenty for Johnny Burke's pressure and kept Princess Lir a length and a half at bay.
Ruby Walsh plotted a wide course on The Fitz Lady in the P And D Lydon Handicap Hurdle, but that tactic reaped its reward as Eric McNamara's 5-1 chance opened her account at the 25th attempt, beating Mossy Island by four lengths.< Balofilo (15-8 favourite) came from well off the pace to land the Killeen Sports Grounds Handicap Hurdle for trainer Martin Cullinane and jockey John Fitzpatrick.
Norman Lee's Bashful Beauty caused a 50-1 shock in an incident-packed Hollymount Nursing Home Beginners Chase under Brian O'Connell, while the Martinstown Opportunity Handicap Chase was not short of spills and eventually went the way of the Val O'Brien-trained 4-1 chance Abarta under Ben Dalton.
