After winning the first with Supreme Benefit Eoin Doyle doubled-up (double came in at 54/1) in the fourth, the Valley Of Honey Beginners Chase, as his Corrigs ran out an easy winner under Mickey Butler.
A winner of a point-to-point at Ballinaboola in November for Eddie Keating the seven-year-old son of Millenary was second on his next three starts.
He was beaten just half a length by Lord Fingal at Lingstown in March while he finished a disappointing fifth on his debut for Eoin Doyle in a maiden hurdle at Tramore last month.
Back over fences today he was available at 12/1 last night with Paddy Power. That price didn't last too long and he eventual went off at just 4's.
Settled in rear in the early stages he took closer order with just under a circuit to race. He tracked the leaders from five out and travelled well in fourth approaching the straight.
He hit the front at the second last and was pushed out on the run-in to win by seven and a half lengths. Valentino's Choice (4/1 from 5's on-course) finished second under Andrew Lynch for Vincent Halley while Gold Patrol was a further length and a half back in third under Sean Flanagan for Colin Bowe at 7/2. Easter Hunt was sent off the 9/4 favourite and he finished a disappointing fifth under Bryan Cooper for Mouse Morris.
Eoin Doyle said afterwards: "He jumps fences way better than hurdles, and wants that ground.
"The quicker the better, and we'll keep him on the go over the summer."
