Grade One-winning chaser Rubi Light battled gamely to land the competitive Arctic Tack Stud Veterans Handicap Chase at Wexford.
The son of Network was pushed close by He'llberemembered but got his head down to win by three-quarters of a length.
Ruby Walsh enjoyed a fruitful afternoon with two successful rides, the first coming aboard I Shot The Sheriff in the Michael O'Murchadha Memorial Rated Hurdle.
The son of Westerner had shaped with promise on his return to action at Navan and comfortably justified favouritism (evens) to score by seven lengths.< Davinia's Tip (3-1) gave Walsh further success when making all to score by four lengths in the Christy Lynch Of The Order Of Malta Memorial Novice Handicap Chase.< Skilled (9-4) built on the promise of his debut over timber with success in the opening Wexford Racecourse Supporters Club Maiden Hurdle.
Gordon Elliot's gelding looked to be in trouble when apparently struggling to pick up in third spot, but the ex-Flat contender produced a smart turn of foot, and scored by two and a half lengths from Caridadi
Nial Madden kept things simple with I Knew Well (5-4) in the Join The Wexford Supporters Club Today Maiden Hurdle.
The son of Oscar had amassed a frustrating sequence of second-placed finishes but his rider took no chances by leading all the way and beating Motown Bob by two lengths.< Westerner Point (4-1) exploited his opening mark to land the St. Patrick's Day Novice Handicap Hurdle by three lengths from Mick The Boyo
The Daily Mirror Chase at Down Royal was a competitive affair despite only three runners going to post.< Roi Du Mee was well supported and lived up to his odds of 9-10 by pulling three and three-quarter lengths clear of his closest challenger Yes Tom < Kala Brandy (3-1) took the closing Irish Stallion Farms E.B.F. Mares (Pro/Am) Flat Race by three and a half lengths from Tigroney
