Miranour followed up his victory at Downpatrick two weeks ago when running out a convincing winner of the Sean Graham Bookmakers Handicap Hurdle at Down Royal.
Jody McGarvey produced the 6/1 co-favourite with a perfectly-timed run to lead before the final flight in the two-and-a-half mile contest.
He stuck on well in the closing stages to post a three-and-a-quarter length victory from Over Church Road
Trainer Liam Lennon lead away the winner after the race.
There was drama at the third last flight as front-runner Katys Girl ran out through the wing unseating Keith Donoghue. She then ran back across the track and fell in front of Caballo De Marcus bringing him down.
Both Donoghoe and Ruby Walsh emerged unscathed.
The other co-favourites in the race were Corr Point who finished fifth and I Never Knew That who was ninth.
