Kieran Callaghan was seen to good effect when partnering his second winner aboard Courting Vickie in the Happy Easter To All Our Patrons Handicap Hurdle at Clonmel.
The eight-year-old mare, trained by Jimmy Barcoe who saddled the first two home when Frazel Express won at Tramore on Monday evening, headed the front-running Iridescent at the second last.
The 16/1 shot was driven out by Callaghan, who is based with champion trainer Willie Mullins, to score by two-and-three-quarter lengths from Iridescent. Search For A Myth was a further four-and-a-quarter lengths back in third, with 11/4 favourite Good Man Turk completing the places in fourth.
Barcoe said, "I'm delighted as she has ran well more than she has run badly and I'd say two miles was too sharp the last day. The dead ground and 2m4f suited her today.
"I never have a big number to run and train a few of my own and have some very good owners."
