< Cantlow (8-1) came with a wet sail to nail Your Busy in the McSweeney Arms Hotel Killarney National Handicap Chase.
The JP McManus-owned 11-year-old has been revitalised by a stint in cross-country races and was second in the La Touche Cup at the Punchestown Festival.
He still had plenty to do jumping the last, with Your Busy going a couple of lengths clear of a handful of pursuers, but Mark Walsh got Cantlow into top gear and he sprouted wings to get up by half a length.
That completed a double for Walsh, who steered Dressedtothenines (9-1) home in the Kelly Brothers Sliabh Luachra Hurdle.
A Grade Two winner in her pomp, the mare has struggled since returning from two years on the sidelines, but she was given a positive ride by Walsh reverting to the smaller obstacles and saw off fellow McManus representative Give Me A Break by three and three-quarter lengths.< Clarcam upset his better fancied stable companion The Game Changer in the Grade Three Laurels Pub & Restaurant An Riocht Chase.
Although carrying the second colours of Gigginstown House Stud, Gordon Elliott's charge did attract some money before the off and after taking the lead off Viconte Du Noyer, the 100-30 chance repelled odds-on favourite The Game Changer by two and a quarter lengths.< Consharon Boy (2-1) won between the flags, struck on his debut under Rules in a Gowran bumper, and now has a victory over timber on his CV following his determined performance in the La Na gClub Maiden Hurdle.
Terence O'Brien and David Splaine looked like they would follow that up when Ballyadam Brook led his rivals a merry dance in the Robin Parke Memorial Handicap Hurdle, but he was reeled in by Conduct Yourself (8-1).< Cape City Boy (7-4 favourite) made every post a winning one in the M.D. O'Shea Maiden Hurdle, and Hard Station did the same in the Dan Linehan's Bar And B & B Hunters Chase.
