Ger Lyons and Colin Keane completed a double at one of their local tracks, when in the finale Chapter Seven added to the first race gains of Mint Chai taking the Download The Racing Post Mobile App Race at Bellewstown.
Indeed it was two from two on the night for Lyons, as his other intended runner, Vale Do Sol, came out on account of the ground.
Chapter Seven had three to beat and it was the 10/1 outsider Altruistic that put up most resistance, but he eventually had to yield by four and a half lengths.
Shane Lyons was on hand for the Glenburnie team and he said: "You wouldn't believe how well he works at home, and he wants good ground or worse.
"The worse it is the better for him, and that shower we had over an hour ago was just what he wanted.
"There is no point in running him on summer ground as he just won't let himself down on it.
"He's well entered up including the mile six handicap at Leopardstown on Irish Champions Weekend."
