Cloud Seeker (7/2) followed up on last month's breakthrough win at Limerick when taking the BoyleSports Acca Rewards Handicap.
The Masar gelding travelled well behind the leaders for Andrew Slattery and was ridden to lead a furlong out. Pressed by several rivals close home, he held on well to beat Hasten Slowly by a neck.
For trainer Andy Slattery, it was an across the cards double after Not Now Darling s win in a Killarney bumper. The trainer's brother Brian commented: "We're delighted. Three-year-olds have a good record in the race with their allowance.
“Pat is very local to the track, unfortunately he's not here tonight as he's in Surrey visiting his daughter.
“He was always doing enough, I don't think they were ever going to pass him.
“There is the three-year-old handicap in Galway but I don't know whether he'd go as it's only ten days away now.”
