Inflection Point got Shane Foley back to within two of Colin Keane in the title race when claiming the Newgrange Handicap at Navan.
The Kieran Cotter-trained gelding was prominent throughout in the five-furlong contest, racing in the centre of the track.
He stayed on best in the closing stages to record a length-and-three-quarter victory over Silver Service
The 5/1 winner had finished mid-division behind stable-mate A Step Too Far on his most recent outing at the Curragh.
“He's got bundles of ability and probably the key is to run him in a race where he can travel that bit better as he got taken off his feet a bit the last day in the Curragh,” said Cotter.
“He travelled smoothly today and won in spite of himself. His head carriage is a bit high but you can't knock him as he's won his maiden and ran off 85 here and won. I wouldn't mind having a few more like him.
“He'll have no problem stepping up to six. Shane has rode him twice and won twice so he has the key to him.
“We tried holding him up but it didn't seem to work so we just let him on and he enjoyed himself there.”
