Eoin Doyle's Breenainthemycra brought up his treble in good style at Roscommon in the extended mile and two handicap.
The four-year-old colt started his winning run at Limerick in a 47-67 handicap off a mark of 49 then was victorious in a Clonmel 47-63 handicap off 56.
Tonight's assignment saw him dip his toe into 50-75 company with a rating of 67 - some 18lbs higher than when he ran in Limerick.
The 6/1 shot travelled well into the home straight before Pat Smullen pushed him along into third at the two pole. The duo made a decisive move coming to the final furlong and stayed on well to win by two lengths. Deor at 6/1 was a short head in front of third-placed Tetraites (11/1).
"He's improving all the time. He was green first time and got into trouble and ran around a bit in Clonmel. Today he was straight and true," said Pat Smullen.
"He's only learning how to race. Hopefully the handicapper is not too harsh on him and he can win again.
"He's a nice horse and has the scope to jump."
Smullen has been on board for all three wins.
