One In All In made it two wins from his last three starts, as he took the Follow Limerick Racecourse On Twitter Rated Hurdle.
Successful at 33/1 at Down Royal in May, the Henry de Bromhead trained bay then finished third to Exchange Rate at Wexford before being later promoted to second.
Having opened at 5/1 on-course this afternoon, the son of Lawman eventually went off a 4/1 chance in the colours of Chris Jones.
Settled behind the leaders on the inner by Davy Russell, the bay five-year-old came through to lead before two out, and a quick jump at the last sealed the deal, as he kept on best to score by three parts of a length. St Lawrence Gap (5/2) threw down a challenge from before two out, but he couldn't reel-in the winner, and had to settle for second under Donagh Meyler for Eoin Doyle.
de Bromhead also saddled the third horse home, and that was Black Key who was returned the 2/1 favourite under Dylan Robinson.
The winning handler said afterwards: "Davy gave him a super ride and he jumped really well and relishes this ground. He struggled through the winter a bit and I'm delighted with him today.
"He is improving all the time and his jumping is getting better and looked today like he'd jump a fence in time.
"We'll head to Galway for either a novice or handicap and we'll enter in both and see nearer the time.
"Black Key ran a blinder and is as honest as the day is long and it was a good run. He might prefer more of an ease in the ground compared to the winner who loves that ground."
