< Ebaziyan starred in a favourites' treble for trainer Willie Mullins and jockey Ruby Walsh at Leopardstown.
The grey is to have another crack at the Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle after landing his first win over a year in the Ballsbridge Hurdle at Navan.
Winner of the 2007 Supreme Novices' Hurdle, Ebaziyan saw off three rivals as the 8-11 shot defeated Star Wood by eight lengths.
"I am not sure he jumps well enough to be competitive in the Champion Hurdle but we know he likes the track so he will take up his entry," said Mullins.< Serpentaria (2-1) in the www.leopardstown.com Handicap Hurdle and Deutschland (11-10) in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Novice Chase completed the near 10-1 trio.
"Serpentaria will go to Fairyhouse and Punchestown where we'll consider the good mares hurdle," said Mullins.
Dessie Hughes' Shirley Casper (2-1) could be Cheltenham bound after taking the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden Hurdle.
She got off the mark under Barry Geraghty and could now head for the David Nicholson Mares' Hurdle.
"She wants good ground and has been stuck in the mud the last couple of times at Naas and also here," said Hughes.
"I'd like to travel her and hopefully we can take her to the mares' race at Cheltenham."< Mask Of Darkness overcame trouble in running to land a gamble in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden Hurdle.
Charles Byrnes' six-year-old, backed down to 4-1 from 10s, won by a length and a half from Ocean Cowboy
Byrnes said: "There are no ambitious plans but he may have one more run this season at Fairyhouse or Punchestown and then go chasing next year."
At Clonmel, Shane Jackson was stood down for seven days due to mild concussion following his fall from Gerbera in the Lisonagh Maiden Hurdle won by 5-4 favourite Superior Ben from the Hughes stable.
