Deano's Treasure's 20/1 win in the Panoramic Restaurant Beginners' Chase came as a surprise to most although the gelding didn't go unbacked on the Tote, paying just 1.60 for a place.
Trainer by Brave Inca's handler, Colm Murphy, the nine year old was having only his second racecourse outing, having landed an older horses maiden point to point last time out at Clonmel.
Barry Cash produced Deano's Treasure to lead at the second last fence, eventually staying on for a length win over the staying on Some Buzz and disappointing 4/5 favourite Star Horse.
The opening Sheilas Cottage Mares Maiden Hurdle went to John Morrison's Timing, produced by jockey Davy Russell under a well timed ride.
The six year old daughter of Alhaarth was settled behind the leaders by Russell, progressing to lead after the third last flight, eventually staying on well for a three and a half length win over Southern Style.
Amateur jockey Derek O'Connor is soon to crowned Champion point to point rider for the second time and the Co Galway jockey gave David Kiely's Karlo an excellent ride to win the 2m4f handicap chase.
Karlo, a former point to point winner was held up before making steady progress along the inner from the fourth last fence.
O'Connor produced the winner to lead after the second last, and although meeting the last fence all wrong, escaped to score by an easy six lengths.
There was plenty of action at the first flight in the Rubys Double Maiden Hurdle with five horses, including 11/8 favourite Dooley, colliding and exiting from the race.
The race eventually went to Dontbebrushedaside who rewarded some punters at big prices, having been backed from 25/1 into 14/1, before winning under Adrian O'Shea.
Jockey Alan Fagan partnered his third winner, all for trainer John Fowler, on Shiminie in the 2m2f handicap hurdle while Nina Carberry again excelled on Dermot Weld's Kinger Rocks, winner of the first division of the bumper.
The Jackpot was not won and the pool of E1569.50 is carried over top Tramore on Friday.
