Jim Bolger and Kevin Manning landed a four-timer at Leopardstown, culminating in victory in the valuable Irish Stallion Farms EBF 'Nasrullah' Handicap with Qatari Hunter
Manning was happy to sit quietly in the rear of the field on the 2-1 chance, and appeared to have a lot of ground to make up when angling the colt out wide after the home turn.
He finished with a real rattle, though, charging down the centre of the track to pick off Tennessee Wildcat in the final few strides and score by a head.
The duo's run started with the heavily-backed Radio Silence winning on debut in the Racecourse Of The Year Race.
Backed into 9-10 favouritism, the War Front colt was held up by Manning but made his move on the home turn and despite showing signs of greenness close home, he swept past Pipes Of Peace to score by two lengths.
Bolger and Manning made it a quick double when Cirin Toinne (12-1) made up for lost time in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden.
The three-year-old was making her debut on the track and was always prominent, eventually seeing off the challenge of fellow pacesetter Etched and going on to score by a length and three-quarters.
Manning provided a master class from the front on Brontide (16-1) in the Jack L Handicap, as he looked a sitting duck on the home turn but just kept finding to get the better of Power Struggle by a nose.
Kevin Prendergast's Aared was forced wide all the way round but still responded to all of Chris Hayes' urgings, sweeping into the lead close home and landing the Leopardstown Handicap by a length and three-quarters from Settle For Red
Charles O'Brien's Botany Bay (3-1) pulled out all the stops under a strong Declan McDonogh drive to land the Leopardstown Summer Pass Handicap.
