After Sea Of Blue s win in race two Aidan O'Brien doubled his tally at Dundalk as Ineffable proved best of his trio of runners to win the Download The Titanbet Sports App Handicap.
Mick Hussey put up a pound 'over' at eight stone seven, after flagging up the possibility of riding at two pounds up, and in the end he got 10/1 shot Ineffable home by a short head from well-backed 9/2 chance Lex Talionis
A Ballydoyle stable companion to the winner, Stone Mountain headed the betting and he ultimately ended up in a close up fourth position.
Joseph O'Brien said: "He'd a great run the last day. Stone Mountain went up 7lb, and this horse was getting a lot of weight today. Mick gave him a great ride.
"I think he'll handle grass, and he stays well."
The Stewards interviewed M.C. Hussey, rider of Ineffable, concerning his use of the whip in the latter stages of this race.
