Oneforlill completed an across the card bumper double for Paul Nolan when making all in the finale at Cork.
The Wexford handler was successful just a few minutes earlier with 25/1 outsider Solita at Downpatrick but this win was a lot more predictable.
Barry O'Neil, who rode Solita to victory, was just denied in the final stride by Missyspet when bidding to make all on Oneforlill at Clonmel last month.
Mikey Doran took over and adopted the same tactics as the Stowaway mare, a 3/1 chance, galloped on well to hold the challenge of Isaac Bell by a length and a quarter.
The pair stretched seven lengths clear of Shouband in third, while 6/4 favourite Rolihlahla could make no impact in the straight eventually finishing sixth.
Nolan said, “I was hoping for rain as all her form was on heavy ground. She will be left off now for the summer.”
