Pat Smullen continued his flying start to the season when Breenainthemycra claimed the Racing Again At Limerick 17th May Handicap at Greenmount Park.
Eoin Doyle 's charge was produced with a strong run to grab the lead a furlong out and kept on well in the closing stages to defeat Annagh Haven by a length-and-a-quarter in the 1m3f contest.
The 6/1 winner had been disqualified on his most recent start at Navan a week ago when his rider failed to weigh-in after finishing fifth.
"It was badly wanted and hopefully that will get the ball rolling for the summer," said Doyle, who was saddling his first winner since January.
"Hopefully he'll be able to win again. He jumps well and will mix it during the summer."
