Course and distance winner Meehall (7/1) claimed the Jeremy O´Neill Memorial Handicap Chase in the hands of Daniel King.
The Mahler gelding raced close to the pace throughout and took command two out to beat Emily In Paris by four-and-a-half-lengths.
Eric McNamara, who trains the eight-year-old for Michael Dolan, said: "He won this race two years ago and jumped superbly tonight. Killashee (a front-runner) took him off his feet here a month ago and he ran no race but things worked out well today and Daniel King gave him a super ride and is very capable.
"He jumped from fence to fence, stays really well and will go to Listowel (September) and Galway (October) next.
"Conor (son) got a fall in Tramore, where he got a kick, so unfortunately was out since yesterday but is back on Saturday."
