Chris Hayes enjoyed a fantastic day at Listowel, notching three winners from as many rides.
The run started in the opening race when Seolan (14-1) showed up nicely on her debut in the Jet O'Carroll Memorial Median Auction Maiden in good style.
Sweeping to the front on the home turn, the 14-1 chance kept on nicely to beat Janna's Jingle by five and a half lengths.
Just half an hour later Hayes was back in the winner's enclosure after Flameseeker opened his account in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden.
The 9-2 chance producing a withering run to lead in the home straight and go on to beat Abu Nayef by a length and a half.
Hayes' winning run was completed when the veteran Fit The Cove (7-2) strode six lengths clear of Srucahan to land the Brandon Hotel Handicap.
Kieran Purcell's Burrenbridge Lodge landed the feature race on the card, the Listowel Races Supporters Club Lartigue Hurdle.
Travelling nicely for Tom Doyle, the 11-1 chance moved up to lead approaching the second last and quickly skipped clear.
Despite a less-than-elegant leap at the final flight, he still had a commanding lead and came home a facile five and a half length winner over Mulleady < Western Promise produced a gutsy display to make all the running in the Kerry Petroleum Handicap Chase.
Shane Ryder's 6-1 joint-favourite had only fellow market leader Western Star for company approaching the second last, and though that rival tried manfully to get in front, Mark Enright's mount stuck to his guns to win by two lengths.< Truckin All Night (9-4 favourite) gave returning jockey Paddy Mangan a winner in the Captain Christy Maiden Hurdle, while Jim Bolger's Lareto (9-2) got back to winning ways with a two-length victory over Cheval Rouge in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap.
