Brog Deas completed his hat-trick with a convincing success in the 1m1f handicap at Tipperary.
There was a difference of opinion from riders turning for home as the field spread across the track but Danny Grant stayed in the centre on the 9/2 shot.
He took over from 10/3 favourite Hail under two furlongs out and was in command going into the final furlong.
The Pat Flynn-trained Arakan gelding galloped on strongly to post a three-length success over Danequest
The winner was making it a quick hat-trick, having recorded successes at Gowran Park and Dundalk last month.
"I'm delighted. He's a very very nice horse," said Flynn afterwards.
"I've a nice plan for him althought it might be a bit ambitious. I'm thinking of bringing him over for the mile Britannia Handicap at Royal Ascot.
"He'll probably get into the race now."
