The second split of the 2m3f handicap hurdle was won by Chapel Street (7/1) under local rider Dan King.
Trained in Castlemartyr Co Cork by Joseph Hennessy and a winner at Wexford last year, the Scorpion gelding came from mid-division early in the straight to head Ladyeze Man after the last and was driven out to beat that rival by a hard-fought neck.
Hennessy said: "His form wasn't hectic all along but he had run well at Wexford in June. He is an eight-year-old who is hard to get ready and has had a few problems.
"Keeping him sound is the main thing and if he stays sound, he could jump a fence. Hopefully he might pick up another one.
"Stephanie, my daughter-in-law, rides him and owns him with my son Richard. We're dairy farmers and have a couple of horses."
