< Jezki was made to work hard to win the Bar One Racing Hatton's Grace Hurdle at Fairyhouse as he continued along the trail towards the Champion Hurdle.
Jessie Harrington's five-year-old, a winner at Down Royal on his seasonal bow a month ago, was sent off the 4-6 favourite and Tony McCoy was content to sit well off the pace set by Diakali who built up a big lead.
Jezki reeled in the front-runner at the second-last, but he didn't jump the final flight well and had to be asked a question before holding Zaidpour by a length and three-quarters in the Grade One event.
Gordon Elliott's 13-8 favourite Don Cossack dug deep in the hands of Davy Russell to land the Grade One Bar One Racing Drinmore Novice Chase for the Gigginstown House Stud team.
The six-year-old looked in trouble at one stage in the straight, but kept on well to catch Galway Plate hero Carlingford Lough after the last for victory by a length and three-quarters.
Philip Fenton's The Tullow Tank repaid connections' faith after being supplemented into the Bar One Racing Royal Bond Novice Hurdle by winning the Grade One contest.< Renneti set off in front and looked to have the race won in the closing stages, but Danny Mullins brought The Tullow Tank to challenge at the last flight and the 5-1 shot forged half a length clear.
Willie Mullins' French recruit Analifet (3-10 favourite) won impressively on her Irish debut last month and she repeated the trick in the Bar One Racing Juvenile 3-Y-O Hurdle, skipping over the jumps from the front under Ruby Walsh to beat stablemate Noble Inn by six and a half lengths.
Pat Fahy's Thelobstercatcher (7-1) led three out and ran on stoutly to take the Bar One Racing Porterstown Handicap Chase under David Casey, while Terence O'Brien's She's Got Grit (7-1) proved aptly named as she fought off Fantastic Gold under Adrian Heskin in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Handicap Chase.
