Knock Beauty became the third winning favourite of the day at Navan when making it three wins on the bounce in the concluding Follow Navan On Facebook Handicap Chase.
Already a course and distance winner as well as having triumphed at Thurles, here Knock Beauty, again with Ger Fox in the saddle, led two out.
She was ridden clear before the last and eventually crossed the line a comfortable seven and a half lengths to the good from Crowded Room
Robert Tyner trains Knock Beauty and he said of the mare, returned at odds of 6/4: "She's in great form and everything went well for her there.
"She seems to like it here and the distance suited her as well.
"We were a little concerned that there'd be no pace and that she'd have to make it herself.
"They went a good enough gallop, he was able to sit in and it worked out simple enough.
"She'll probably have a break now. We'll have a look now but I don't think there's a lot for her." (GC & EM)
