Moveable Asset (9-1) had plenty to do coming off the final bend, but made remorseless progress and collared the leader in the shadow of the post to win by a nose, with Anshan Dreams in third.
It was almost as close in the Like Tramore Racecourse On Facebook Handicap when Heffernan completed a double, sticking to the inside rail on John Murphy's Diamond Pro (6-1) and grabbing Ocean Bright close home to win by a short head.
